Friends don't let friends use Chrome. Use Firefox. uBlock Origin works best with Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...
Yeah, I don't get all this fuss. I mean, if you block ads then do you think Chrome will also stop reporting to the mothership? Of course not. Use Firefox and simple be done with all this hoohah.

Firefox on ChromeOS sucks though. Just went through this, tried Canary, etc. Went back to Chrome.
Just ChromeOS? Firefox on Mac sucks. Here is one example: Firefox's tracking of the mouse cursor is broken, and often (yes, it's inconsistent) applies a vector translation so when trying to click something like a button or menu, the cursor needs to be about 100 x-y pixels away from the target. Only Firefox native UI is affected. These are My_First_Program.app tier bugs that should not exist in mature, 20 year old sof…

The removal can be bypassed until June 2025: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1d49ud1/manif...
This is just kicking the can down the road. The bigger question is how the Chromium forks are going to respond long-term. I suspect the APIs enabling ad blocking are only going to get more clamped down requiring additional work for forks.

What are your qualms with Brave Browser?
I'm not convinced that it's much more than a Chrome skin with an integrated crypto scam.
