For ad/trackerblocking no need of the ChromeStore in Vivaldi, also easy to install extensions from other sources, even scripts. Only bad for other Chromiums.

I moved away from chrome over a year ago, once they started talking about blocking ad blockers. Firefox works great, easily imports your passwords and bookmarks, and supports all the ad block extensions I like.

Google feels ok in doing this due to their dominating share in the browser market. In reality, the most influential users of their products will end up finding alternatives, and never coming back. These users tend to convince other users to follow. It’ll be a slow downturn unless Google ramps up their efforts, but it’ll happen.

Hmm… Something something Firefox

I was wondering if all Alphabet employees aren’t allowed to use ad blockers. Do they really believe that the internet without adblockers is a sane experience?

Thank goodness I don’t use chrome or any chrome based browsers, so I can still use an effective ad blocker.
