According to recent user reports, uBlock Origin is quickly disappearing from the Chrome Web Store. The official page for the ad-blocking extension now states that it is unavailable because it doesn’t comply with Chrome’s “best practices” for add-ons. However, we can confirm that the page is still accessible from our EU Windows client.

Problem solved, except for the sites that still refuse to work properly with established web standards.

for most of these, using an extension to pretend you are using chrome fixes the “problem”
One up vote isn’t enough
I like Vivaldi. Best of both worlds: no Google bullshit, like Firefox, combined with the compatibility of WebKit.
Man… I switched a while back. Shits wild how many sites don’t work correctly
Edit: my wife sends me tiktok videos which doesn’t work and then a random smattering of redirects.
I have not really found any…
But also, if you find sites that won’t work in Firefox, keep using them with Firefox and get others to do the same, then start complaining to the company running the site.
I edited my initial comment.
But it’s tiktok that my wife sends me and redirects. Which in absolutely not going to complain to tiktok because fuck that noise. IDC enough about that mess.
The redirects are annoying… But I just work around that in most cases
So you blame Firefox for Tiktok being shit?
Some websites will tell you FF is not a supported webbrowser, this is BS more often than not. You can circumvent this by changing your User-Agent: User-Agent Switcher - addons.mozilla.org
Microsoft Teams comes up with an unknown error on Firefox, which gets magically fixed when changing user agent…
Soon, users will have to choose between accepting Chrome’s inferior ad-blocking technology or switching to a different browser.
Doesn’t seem like a terribly difficult choice. Firefox it is.
Chrome has ad blocking technology?
I thought it was the opposite.
I’ve already switched to Firefox. It makes me a little sad that I moved to chrome in the first place. Back then google seemed to care about improving the web experience and moving to open standards. Now they are so dominant, it’s the opposite. Its the death of an idealistic internet.
