1487996 2022-08-25 23:50:00 I'm with Edge.
Cant see any point installing another browser if it's not needed.

New Chrome extension rules could hobble ad blockers

www.tomsguide.com

From the article:

"It will be interesting to see what happens when and if many ad blockers and privacy extensions cease to function on Google Chrome, but rival browsers continue to support them.

Firefox maker Mozilla (opens in new tab) says it will support Manifest V3 but also let ad blockers work; Microsoft (opens in new tab) has implied it will do the same in Edge. Brave (opens in new tab), like Edge, is Chromium-based but says it blocks ads (by default) at a deep level that won't be affected by Manifest V3.

Chrome currently has about two-thirds of the global desktop browser market, according to StatCounter (opens in new tab). The rest are all below the 10% mark. If Chrome gets rid of ad blockers and the others don't, it could be a chance for them to reclaim a bigger piece of the pie."

1487999 2022-08-26 21:15:00 God knows why anyone switched to Chrome in the first place.

It's just a Google tracking device disguised as a web browser...

Of course they'd want to remove adblock abilities from it, advertising (and tracking you) is one of their largest revenue streams...

1488000 2022-08-26 23:36:00 I use Opera as my main browser with Chrome as a secondary for watching live webcams and some other stuff though I noticed yesterday that this web site just loads a blank screen on Chrome Version 104.0.5112.102 site asm.transitdocs.com

OK on other browsers. The import of Chrome to Edge was about 80% successful so may try that and see if better.

1488001 2022-08-27 10:35:00 I find Firefox easier to use, being able to access the Tabs in full screen. It also handles PDF very well, and loads offline files from the toolbar. I use Chrome for Google online work. The full screen access is available in the Chromebook browsers, wonder why they don't add it to the other Chrome Browsers? mzee (3324)
1488002 2022-08-28 23:12:00 FF too here Is FF the only browser that opens bookmarks in new tab ( i.e. not overwriting existing tab) Is an extension.
Can't replicate in chrome or edge ??

Which is why you shouldn't use that, either..
