I haven’t had to think about ads in years with ublock origin, but have been forced to use Chrome for some tasks recently. What’s a good alternative?
I unfortunately have to use Chrome at work and uBlock origin light seems to work well enough. When I’m at home the pihole does most of the heavy lifting for the adblocking.
this day is coming that i can no longer use pfsense-ng + vpn to do this and; by then; i suspect ublock will stop working altogether.
It’s not in the chrome store, but Ad Nauseum. Between that and using the Vivaldi browser, I haven’t seen an ad on my desktop in literal years
Ublock origin lite + little snitch + VPN filtering + DNS filtering + pi hole
This way, you have filtered many layers: user, computer, network.
Is uBlock Origin Lite an option for you? I don’t use chrome, but it might work for your needs.
My employer uses Googles business suite for everything, so we use Chrome to access email, calendar, word docs etc.
I still use Firefox & ublock origin for all my other web browsing.
No adblock works that well on chrome based browsers.
I have tried brave, cromite etc but still many ads come through especially on youtube.
Believe it or not: ublock origin
You can still use the command line policy overrides to use manifest v2 add-ons
I’d leave the internet.
We’re stuck on Edge at work and ublock origin lite or whatever its called works well enough for me and with my behaviours.
There aren’t that many ads to block when most of what I use of the open web at work are Wikipedia and government funded websites.
Chrome specifically, or derivatives as well?
Helium I believe modified their code to allow ublock origin to work. Vivaldi has their own ad blocker iirc.
But if it’s just Chrome and not derivatives, then I don’t know.
