I can't even convince my spouse to switch to firefox to get adblocking back. Browsers are entirely transparent to most users :\
If you're savvy, look at blocking them at the dns level with software like pihole or blocky.
Just install it and change the icon.
Wait, what browser are they using that doesn’t support plugins? IE11?
It's not about no plugin support... It's about Chroma and Manifest V3 crippling adblocking plugin capabilities.
Yeah, if you really wanted to use chrome, you'd have to use something like Brave where they forked and did not move over to Manifest V3.
Wouldn't want my spouse to fuck with my computer.
