why even use chrome? firefox with add-ons is the way to go. eventually google will break any plugin preventing ads and privacy

[-] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Don’t use chrome and use Firefox. Then install the Adblock extension on Firefox.

Stop supporting google by using their browser.

The problem here is Chrome - guess what, the company that brought you YT also makes the Browser that prevents ad blocking by simply calling ad blocking software "rogue".
