ublock origin for lyfe.
Alphabet is clearly demonstrating it's disregard for user agency.. or showing their contempt if your uncharitable
Ad blocking is preferred for security of those enterprise users. Although I'm aware the risk of malvertising has decreased over the past few years, it still exists. If they limit ad blocking extensions, then they at least need to provide a reasonably priced SKU that has that capability built in
Is this change likely to affect all Chromium-based browsers? I'm not clear on how that works...
You know it will. Do yourself a favor and move to Firefox sooner than later. I used Chrome for years and out off the migration, but since switching to Firefox a few months ago I love it. Should've done this a long time ago.
I think some downstream projects will choose to not implement it. Vivaldi and Brave browser committed to not implementing it when it drops, so those two will likely be fine, at least for now
