Alternatively, don't use any chromium based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera, ...)

littlecolt.bsky.social•114 days ago

Or use Firefox

I honestly get the feeling like they legally CAN'T force people to not have it, but can sort of put asterisk on their claims of "will not be supported" and just hopes that the grandson who installed it onto the grand parent's computer won't bother to fix it until Thanksgiving.

Can't you just use uBlock lite? My spouse told my bf that the other day.

groundbyte.bsky.social•113 days ago

Problem is that uBlock lite won't work on all ads anymore as google is making changes to chrome by removing APIs that are need by uBlock and other similar extensions in order to block all ads.

The better option is find a different browser that aren't chrome as this will end up affecting them soon

Thank you

It was like 5 clicks to transfer everything I had on Chrome over to Firefox. Extensions, bookmarks, saved passwords, all that.

Or you can just use firefox. It won't work if the functionality it uses on chrome isn't there anymore...

eggsmachina.bsky.social•114 days ago

Just saw this AFTER removing uBlock cuz I thought it was gone for good, it's been removed from the google extensions page so I can't get it back 😭

dittmanrat.bsky.social•114 days ago

I researched and found a pretty easy way to get it back:

eggsmachina.bsky.social•113 days ago

Thank you so much!!! Just did this, worked perfectly
I'll keep an eye out if chrome tries to disable it again, but from the looks of it it should be just fine

dittmanrat.bsky.social•113 days ago

Folks are saying you will need to enable it one more time a little later, and that's my experience too, but that's not bad at all.

dittmanrat.bsky.social•114 days ago

If you deleted uBlock, you can get it back fairly easily:
