    I’m not entirely convinced that Google and Microsoft are Elrond in this particular issue … or that uBlock Origin is the one ring … it feels like this meme is something Sauron would push to make people think the good guys are bad guys …

    It’s weird to me, anyone using Edge or Chrome over Mozilla. It makes no sense. It’s not 1998 anymore. Surely people have had time to absorb the progression of things.

      I keep chromium installed for the few times a year I visit a page that doesn’t support Firefox.

    Doesn’t this mean that web developers will just stop developing their sites to be compatible with anything other than chrome derivatives?

      That’s already the case to some extent.

      But if Firefox is the only browser where real adblocking happens, I imagine anti-adblocking will become less aggressive, which will be great news for Firefox users.

      Even though Vivaldi is chromium-based, some site just don’t function properly or even refuse to load, but working fine in chrome, so yeah it’s already happened.

      They’ll get offered ad revenue sharing and it’ll be too good to pass up.

      They certainly have no ideological problem with following suit.

    It’s crazy anyone would willingly use Chrome and browse the internet without any protection. You’d be surprised though, as many of my friends don’t even have an adblocker.

    In a way I guess it’s good for people like us who just block them, as the ad watchers are essentially subsidizing services like YouTube who would otherwise crackdown harder on ad blockers.

      Some people pay for youtube premium+ (or whatever it’s called) and try to be oh so smug about the quality of service they get. YT with no ads. If you pay for it. I’d rather just not use youtube.

        I haven’t yet met anyone who’re so smug about paying yt premium, as vanced offer much much more. I paid it, have no complain, but i wouldn’t be smug about it, that’s just silly.
