@Fitik One more reason to use Firefox or other browsers
@Fitik yep, there’s literally no excuse to be on a chromium based browser now.
You want your information to be sold? Use chrome.
You want to use the internet? Use literally anything else.
Welcome, I switched to firefox on my PC a few months ago, and regret nothing
I only use Chrome on my work computers for this reason. That being said, google steals the wrong information and it’s from a company, I know they’ve got deeper pockets than me to make them rue the day.
Yeah, the lack of extensions/add-ons for FF has always been what’s kept me from switching permanently. Hopefully more users on FF will mean more devs working on the add-ons. Losing chrome/chromium browsers is a major bummer
At least we saw it coming I guess
Do people really think there’s not a lot of extensions for firefox? I’ve had no trouble finding tools that do even obscure things I need them to
Sorry, I could’ve been clearer there. I wasn’t saying there were few add-ons. What I mean is there are extensions on chrome that aren’t on FF. I’ve looked for a specific type of add-on many times and not found it. I’m pretty dependent on some powerful extensions so it’s always been something holding me back from switching to FF. I even started using edge at work since it was faster than chrome but I could still use my fav extensions
We can only hope this means Chrome loses some market share. Also, interesting time to do this, what with the recent monopoly ruling. This is sure to draw more attention from regulators and lawmakers.
@Fitik I find a new reason to use firefox instead google chrome
Anyone here understand what is the material difference between uBO and uBO Lite? I don’t understand what is meant by
It’s worth noting that while the new app ships with similar features to the original version, including core ad-blocking features, it doesn’t support dynamic filters for blocking scriptlet injection.
Or if there are any other differences not mentioned.

They are both legit. The lite version just has to follow the new v3 manifest rule where it cannot update its block lists independently from full extension updates. This effectively puts a significant delay in the ability of uBO Lite to block new ads/threats, among other small changes that neuter the traditional uBO experience.
