Use Firefox.
This is the easiest problem to solve.
This has been coming since they announced Manifest v3. Anyone paying any attention at all knew this was going to happen.
and switched to Firefox if they weren’t already using it
New? This is years in the working.
Literally told people to expect this if they keep using chrome and now they are in disbelief, more so when I send them the screen cap of me telling them to expect it.
But why would an ad company want to block ad blockers? That makes no sense…

Switch to Firefox, be happy.
Who gives a fuck? Just stop using chrome
There was a time not too long ago where I would have just assumed a move this clearly douchey and against your customers’ desires would lead to nothing but a complete evacuation of those customers, but I’ve seen this movie play out enough times to know that somehow, someway, this will work out just fine for them. People will complain, swallow it whole, keep on using it, and finally just forget about it.
It turns out the majority of people are just really fuckin’ dumb.
this stumps me, when an alternatice can be installed in 2 seconds like every other app
Okay, thanks. I remember reading quite a bit about this but in another thread a while back, several people were recommending Brave. I was using it for a while and I do like the speed, especially on Android. I was using Firefox on both desktop and Androis but I think uBlock Origin on Firefox causes a 2-5 pause when accessing some websites. It’s really weird and I haven’t been able to figure it out.
Overall, I agree about Brave and the shady monetization stuff.
The fuck you mean “new”? They have been trying to force chromium based browsers on everyone in part for this exact reason

Imagine using you power to "vote for "/support/give power to a company who says it’s gonna kill all ad-blockers to monopolise the ad market even further … and then complain about the exact thing happening.
Using Chrome (or other Google products) is just supporting and enabling that.
If people didn’t use it, none of it would have happened.New?

Two current best forks of FF for a discerning customer.
Add uBlock to hurt ad tech
That’s why I don’t use chrome.
That alone would be why it’s good if they had to sell it.
The only issue with forcing them to sell it is Mozilla will lose most of its income stream. Hopfully selling it causes much branching making it harder to target firefox in making websites uncompatable.
