    "Google's Plan to Limit Ad Blockers on Chrome Riles Developers"

    Link: https://gizmodo.com/googles-plan…

    ''The proposed design changes would replace the API relied upon by privacy extensions like uBlock and Ghostery with another designed to “diminish the effectiveness of content blocking and ad blocking extensions,”''

    ''The proposal would leave functional basic filters employed by Adblock Plus, which, the site noted, Google has reportedly paid to whitelist its own ads.''

    • I just reinstalled Netscapeutopian
    • every browser launches as being the fastest ever, then gets bloated, then some new guy launches as being the fastest ever. rinse and repeat.inteliboy
    • https://brave.com is the real deal. My default browser for over a year now. Built by Mozilla founder and creator of Javascript. Built in ad/tracer blockers.rabbit

    • Brave still uses Chromium though, which would need hard forking, and anyway has a dubious funding / ad-blocking philosophy.Nairn
    • Firefox is great - I never really stopped using it (ok, i went to Chrome for about 6-12 months when FF got slow decade or so ago).Nairn
    • I can't get my head around people trusting Google with their holiest of holies - their entire interactivity with the internet via the browser, web tools, etcNairn
