With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

        The plan to deprecate Chrome V2 extensions has been constantly postponed again and again for years now. There is NO SCHEDULED DATE for this to happen currently, and when it is announced it will be more than 6 months out.

        If Google really wanted to kill ad blockers, they would have done this years ago.

        They don’t. They want to force ad blockers and other similar extensions to use more efficient APIs that don’t slow down the web. Extension developers overall (not just ad blockers) aren’t happy with the changes, so they’re still working on the APIs.

    2 years later, the “Manifest” is doing it’s job and still I know some people that would not leave their favorite Chrome.

    I’ve played around with a few browsers, and while Firefox is a better alternative to chrome, I’d more recommend a privacy hardened fork of firefox such as LibreWolf or GNU IceCat. I’ve also used mullvad browser which is kinda neat.

    Some people are too comfortable using chrome for it’s extension library however, so if a mozilla-based browser doesn’t fulfill the extensions requirement, Brave browser is a good choice. I haven’t tried de-googled chromium, but I imagine it’s food for the reasons it says on the tin.
