Google Chrome is killing more extensions than you think - is your old favorite on the list?

Stop. Using. Chrome.

Firefox is the way.

[chef_boyardee@lemm.ee]

Nope. Cloud to Butt still works for me.

Firefox or Librewolf are nice.

[amphy@lemmy.ca]

Yep. You can just disable filtering for specific devices. Or, if you want to get more granular, you can create device groups with different levels of filtering (including none).

My partner uses Facebook, I don't. Her phone has Facebook unblocked, but it's blocked on all our other devices.

As I recall, the answer is yes, as long as you make the Pi your DHCP provider or assign static IP. I was using it in the opposite way to block certain sites from certain devices. But my kids are old enough now that I haven't done it in a couple of years.

The sad thing is that people will see this and still try to find a way to keep using chrome instead of just moving to a browser that actually respects them.

[engywuck@lemm.ee]

That's precisely one of the reasons I use it.

[engywuck@lemm.ee]

As I said, I mainly care about adblocking. Shields (Brave's adblocker) does an amazing job and doesn't depend on MV2 or MV3 (it's not an extension).

Forgot about cloud to butt. We might need AI to butt with a backwards compatible blockchain to butt nowadays.

[swarfega@lemm.ee]

That's a name I haven't heard in a long long time. I thought it died due to it being a privacy nightmare or something. There was some controversy at least.

I used to use Selenium extension on Chrome to test my applications for Chrome compatibility. Chrome said they are disabling it now. Do you not want web applications to be easily tested for Chrome compatibility, Google?

[korhaka@sopuli.xyz]

I don't have any chrome extensions because I don't use chrome. Everyone else should do the same.

[coolmojo@lemmy.world]

Safari on IPhone does have adblocker extensions. So the websites should stop supporting Apple devices as well in order to display ads. This is nearly 20% of users based on your stats.

[jaddedfauceet@lemmy.world]

They are probably moving to Chrome DevTools Protocol or WebDriver BiDi

[catloaf@lemm.ee]

Hasn't it been dead for years? You can probably get the same functionality with other apps, depending on what you use it for.

[saharamaleikuhm@feddit.org]

I like Floorp.

[not2dopey@sh.itjust.works]

chrome just killed Ublock on me and EVERY site is now full of ads... I had no idea how bad it had become!
What browser do you suggest?

[turnip@sh.itjust.works]

Firefox of course.

I'd also suggest their VPN, as its a cheaper mullvad.

[korhaka@sopuli.xyz]

Firefox or a fork of Firefox.

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

Speaking of Firefox forks... they're doing some really cool things with FireDragon and Zen Browser.
