uBlock Origin Light works fine. In fact I prefer it for the most part. They should have found better ways to provide the exact same features in MV3 though even if that meant additional warnings or prompts. I get why declarative requests provide more privacy and safety, but there will always be power users who'd rather have more choice.
I see a lot of comments (justifiably) touting firefox's superiority... but the performance difference is night and day.
My main pc has very weak hardware, and my browser is the most resource intensive application I run. In my environment, I can't leave firefox open with other heavy apps running simultaneously, but I can leave chrome open.
I've used firefox for decades in the past, but the gap is huge and it doesn't look like Mozilla will make the engine changes necessary to close it. Idk if things have changed, but I remember when they axed the Servo team.
I've been using Ungoogled Chromium and I'm hoping this doesn't affect me for a while... but if I have to choose between ads and closing my browser to run heavy apps, I guess I'll be reinstalling firefox.
same, chromium is much faster on a core2duo..
Brave and Vivaldi have built-in ad blockers. Brave’s is based on uBO; Vivaldi’s is based on ABP.
