PSA: How to keep using adblockers on Chrome and Chromium

If Google leaves a boolean switch in Chromium to keep V2 enabled then I assume most if not all of the third party Chromium-derived browsers will just flip it to true by default. That's easy for them to do, the hard part is if Google strips out V2 altogether and leaves the downstream browsers to patch it back in.

This seems like it's too hard to tell friends/family. Is the go-to now just 'install firefox'?

You can't just send them a .reg file and tell them to double click on it and hit ok?

Just tell them to use Edge. It's the worse you can do to Google.

It's IE all over again. Sometimes you can't.

IE was technically garbage and people eagerly wanted to get away from it as it broke sites.

Sites are now mostly built and tested on Chrome. Firefox breaks sites.
