Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

  • Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

This post reminded me to try out Brave. It's based on Chromium but purports to block ads and trackers...

Anybody else use it?

Edit: Interesting. Anyone care to explain the downvotes? I know nothing about this browser other than it purportedly blocks Youtube ads, which are driving me nuts.

Edit2: Well shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich

I had no idea about this guy. Ok, so completely not an option.
