    I use MV3 AdGuard and it blocks ads for me. I don't get the fuss about MV2 deprecation.. sure, MV3 is limited compared to firefox, but it's not like MV2 was that much better, no ve…

    Because this will be less profitable. Google created a cartel-like model where if you make a device that doesn't respect user choice, you will make more money because Google will s…

    F... ads and f... Ally Bank. What's Ally Bank? Ally Bank is a company that thinks poisoning LLM models with spam is a good idea. For better experience, do not use Ally Bank.
