    Using an adblocker on chrome is the funniest shit, that’s like using a condom to fuck a sheep.

    Good job using a condom, but what the fuck are you doing fucking a sheep?

      According to the people I know, “It’s better” because they won the browser speed race without looking at anything else.

      You should see people hanging onto windows instead of switching to any other OS…

    Just use Firefox. Its people’s fault that it got so bad because you basically gave them a browser monopoly

    You can still block ads while shoving your data up Google’s ass, here is how.

    Don’t use Chrome

    My first web browser was Mosaic version 1. I ran version 2 alpha for a bit.

    Netscape started doing things better so I moved over to it.

    Over the years I’ve bounced around from Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and a few others (the MS browsers never really swayed me). It seemed like every year I’d be moving to a new platform or version. I usually have 3-4 browsers installed on my computers at any given time.

    Once Chrome blocked uOrigin I moved over to Firefox. Easy.

    The point is, to get the best (and safest) browsing experience, you have to be flexible. If you just use the thing that “came with the computer” you’re going to have a bad time. If Chrome wants to break your browsing experience, ditch it.

    “While users can still make uBlock Origin work, it will eventually stop working altogether, and no method will be able to mend it. Therefore, users will have to either switch to Manifest V3-based blockers, such as uBlock Lite, or move to browsers that still support Manifest V2. Firefox, Opera, and Brave, for example, do not plan to ditch those extensions just yet.”

    Just fucking switch already!

        Hmm, openSUSE Tumbleweed has been the best OS I’ve ever used, and it’s still available. Windows 7 was marginally better than Vista because they fixed the broken stuff, but it still had all the problems of a Windows OS.

          Except all problems of a windows system werent on win7. Bloat? Minimal, was mostly the theme that was heavy but could be disabled. Forced updates? Didnt exist yet. Hardware requirements? A running pc. Half assed new ui? Didnt exist yet. Confusing configs that were all over the place? Nope, started in win8 and 10. Software comparability? 90% hell yes.

          Win7 was a polished vista, with loads of bloat removed, performance improvements and 1000% more stable.
          Win8 started screwing with shit and moving stuff partly and it went downhill from there.

          And im also comparing it to os’ of the time. Clearly with todays tech id pick a linux over win7 anyday, but in those days win7 was king

            Nah, in those days I picked Linux. In fact, I got a “win7 ready laptop” and still picked Linux over it. Windows 7 was better than Vista, but it didn’t fix the other issues I had w/ windows.

            I honestly think Win10 was better than Win7.

        Horrible from a security standpoint. A good step into the future, but honestly let it go.

    Alternatively, you could use a browser instead of an advertisement delivery app.
