        Not just a twist. It tries to shove crypto in your face and monetize your browsing time constantly. There are far better alternatives like Vivaldi and Firefox that don’t do that nonsense at all.

    I don’t understand why people use Chome? Just use any other Chromium based open source browser or Firefox

      Probably because most don’t know what Chromium is, or what open-source means or why certain websites don’t work (or work as well as in Chrome). Sad but true.

      most of the population isn’t tech-savvy enough to know about different browser types, or care about which one they’re using. The reason chrome is so dominant is because it comes pre-installed on many devices, and so people just don’t bother to change it.

      Been there, done that, found more holes in vivaldi than the chrome itself, switched up to LibreWolf (a hardened fork of firefox.)

    if I recall correctly many adblockers (including uBlock origin) stopped working a while ago on chrome when chrome implemented manifest v3.0 for extensions

      Hasn’t happened quite yet. uBlock Origin on Chrome is much less robust than on Firefox, that’s for sure. Manifest 3 is finishing it’s rollout this month and we’re looking at not being able to functionally use adblockers in Chrome very soon.

        Ah okay, thanks for the info. I don’t use chrome myself and haven’t been reading up on the whole ordeal recently so my information was a bit outdated lol
