Not sponsored, I just genuinely like the product. Adguard doesn't require manifests because it works outside the browser.
On the other news I hope this bullshit is finally the straw that kills chrome.
Hope springs eternal. Most people without an adblocker don't even notice that their web experience has become an ad-ridden hellscape.
Highly doubt it. So many other browsers on so many platforms (mobile, tv, Auto,...) are built on Chrome and will have this by extension.
And opening most links in Android apps still opens them in Chrome, even if Firefox is your default browser.
Time for Android to get the EU treatment.
How about the US fixes some of its shit for once? Instead of exporting disgusting practices and forcing others to fix them?
I don't have this issue m Samsung galaxy s9+ on stock Android.
Everything opens in the duckduckgo browser by default. The only time I see Chrome is when it's for when a web site doesn't load in ddg or firefox
you might have forgotten to set your browser of choice as the default webview
I'm doing this from a Samsung, so the steps might differ slightly, but go into apps, scroll down to Chrome, select it, and then tick the 'Disable' option. Now Chrome literally can't open anything.
I've disabled chrome on all my devices some time ago, so this is fine.
idk what people say but webextensions were a mistake.
Early Christmas present for FireFox, yay!
Does this apply to all Chromium based browsers? I would like to switch to Firefox, but the touchscreen scroll there is terrible, and that is 90% of what I do in a browser.
yes it does.
what trouble are you having with FF's scroll? it's worked perfectly fine on every device I've ever seen, you sure it's not a problem with your setup?
Google keeps improving chrome /s
