This is an wake-up call for everyone to migrate to other email service providers. Google only cares about invading our privacy, showing ads and making money. Thre's no reason to use products from a company like that.

Yeah, how dare those pesky businesses exist and try to make money.

Yeah, I also observed it on Firefox. I was able to view emails by turning off only the "disable cosmetic filtering" filter.

It's the filter lists you are subscribed to.

Sometimes they get a bad rule in them and then they don't fix it for a day or two, or you have to purge the rule caches and reload from source.

Also a wake-up call to migrate to other internet browsers. Don't give Google the monopoly market share it needs to push the web whatever direction it wants; competition is healthy.

If there's fee I can pay to allow uBlock origin to keep working on Chrome, send me a link.

Those other services aren't free so this isn't anti-business... The opposite. With Google we're the product and it doesn't serve us as customers.

I've had a few sites I normally use break today and start working after I turn off uBlock.

It would be nice to have an add-on in Google One to turn off the ads for a monthly price.
