    If you wanna keep using adblocks you should start moving away from Chrome/Chromium-based browsers as soon as possible!!

      That’s what they said in January too and Vivaldi is still working just fine at blocking ads with internal ad blocking. I don’t even have an ad blocker extension installed.

        They pushed the deadline to January 2024, that’s when Chromium is officially dropping support for MV2. As of now, new MV2 extensions can’t be uploaded to the store. Built-in adblockers won’t be affected by that change because they’re not extensions.

      Not necessarily chromium ones. I get that Chrome has a monopoly over all browsers, but brave offers great privacy control even though it’s a chromium based browser.

        It’s not just about privacy, at least for me. Staying away form the Chromium monopoly is the biggest point.
