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

You are not Google’s customer. You’re the product they sell to their customers.
Edit: Made this comment before refreshing the post to see the person above me. What they said.

I only care about adblocking, so ControlD+Brave for me.
Brave is a Chromium browser.

Chrome users are not customers, they're the product.
OK, then. Killing their product.

I 'm forced to use Chrome on my work laptop and it is the worst browser (even before the disabling of Manifest V2), but for security I can't access many systems with even another chromium based browser . Funnily IT forces an extension on us and it isn't compatible with Manifest V3.

There’s always PiHole to block ads at the network level. It takes some setup and a raspberry pi but it can be one of the cheaper ones. And I’m pretty sure the sites aren’t going to do much more than check the User Agent to get the browser so User Agent Switcher will get around 99% of that.
You could, I suppose, block Firefox in other ways (like maybe checking for some random Chromium feature not yet supported in Firefox) but Firefox isn’t usually far behind Chrome so it would almost take an entire new developer to be effective. And there’s probably ways around that too. (I’m a web developer but have never worked on an ad-supported project and never will so I’m not sure but life finds a way.)
Is it possible to set up the pihole so certain devices are unfiltered? My partner works in digital marketing and needs to test that her clients' ads are functional.

Stop. Using. Chrome.
Firefox is the way.

Nope. Cloud to Butt still works for me.

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.

Brave is a Chromium browser.
That's precisely one of the reasons I use it.

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).
