    Chromium based browsers, (Chrome, Edge) are blocking ad blockers.
    Firefox is NOT.
    Also, Chrome is not a browser, it is an advertising tracking piece of software that surveils your every click. In the ‘olden’ days, this was called spyware. It’s a piece of software that exploits it’s users. It, like spyware, used to be bundled with all kind of other programs. Does anyone remember the line, “Also install Chrome Browser” when you installed other software?
    Have a better life, install Firefox and uBlock Origin.
    Also Fuck Brave, they are liars.

      Btw. do you know the technical reason why it’s still working with Firefox? Does it have to do with this new anti-adblock-API that was recently introduced in Chrome and Safari?

        Yes, that’s my understanding. And because Firefox is not chromium based they can’t mess with the underlying code. Plus uBlock Origin works better on Firefox and it gets updates faster.

      I have already wondered, why it’s still working for me :). Good to know, then it’s finally settled, I will stay on Firefox. I hope it will continue to work with adblockers there… (Google has way to much “stake” in Mozilla)
