Not so much chrome, but many browsers (like my favorite Vivaldi) are chromium based. I wish they'd just keep uBlock going in the chromium rebuilds, but IDK if that's possible. Seems like it should be to me though.
Also, we switched at work from Firefox because somehow they broke system level updates a few years ago, and nothing I could do was able to figure out why their installer stopped working without first having someone run the uninstall graphically to update to the new version. It would just say Firefox wasn't a valid windows exe till I manually removed it. And even the Mozilla Enterprise list seemed flummoxed. Honestly, I think they should have reverted the installer change, or even just use a standard installer that doesn't have this problem, but hey.
