Chrome's crackdown on ad blockers

[Jee]

Any major reasons why one wouldn't switch to something like Firefox instead of chrome? As someone who completely deggogled, I wouldn't even consider chrome but I am curious on reasons why others are sticking by it despite everything google has done.

Confusing if that is MV3 as there is another listing as Beta -

The Adguard normal extension is now MV3, your link is for beta version, that is why it's .180 vs .178.

Screw it, I'm switching.

Switched to Firefox after a decade and deleted Chrome! The import was smooth. It's WAY snappier, and (much) more privacy-focused.

Also it has native vertical tabs now

On 131.0.6778.205 (Mac) and uBlock Origin is working fine. Hoping that it continues.

Speaking of FF, will there be cascading effects from Google considering they have poured money into them?

For me ublock origin is working fine on chrome now

Brave is also good since its based on chromium same as google chrome so all google extensions will work there.

generally because chrome extensions I believe, because Firefox do have extensions but there are more on chrome.

Simplicity, easy navigation across settings etc, tons of add-ons, flexibility with customization and lastly looks!

Chrome is for kids who want just a plain browser like a surf and forget crap! Experts will use anything other than it imo! If any die-hard chrome user got offended I cannot help as chrome simply sucks--extremely boring browser out there.

Not true. All those browser you are talking about expect Firefox (and it's derivatives) use the same Chrome engine as the base and add a few features here and there. I was diehard fan of Firefox, but seems like Mozilla don't care about it anymore. Firefox will be dead sooner or later.
