Uninstall Chrome.

Install Firefox.

Stop letting Google dictate web standards and accept that they plan on removing adblocking from Chrome.

Firefox is the last widely available, cross-platform browser that isn't based on Chromium. The only other is Safari for macOS/iOS which is not generally cross-platform.

  • Firefox uses Gecko/Quantum
  • Safari uses WebKit
  • Chrome/Chromium uses Blink

Drop any browsers that use Blink as the rendering engine, and yeah, it's most of them.

Google has made it completely clear where they stand on this war, which is that they will remove your access to content if you don't agree to see their ads.

I've been with Mozilla since before Firefox was a thing. Had a stint with Chrome for a few years but ultimately went back to Firefox. No ragrets.
