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”

      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

          Microsoft Teams comes up with an unknown error on Firefox, which gets magically fixed when changing user agent…

      I like Vivaldi. Best of both worlds: no Google bullshit, like Firefox, combined with the compatibility of WebKit.
