@Fitik yep, there's literally no excuse to be on a chromium based browser now.

You want your information to be sold? Use chrome.

You want to use the internet? Use literally anything else.

Welcome, I switched to firefox on my PC a few months ago, and regret nothing

We can only hope this means Chrome loses some market share. Also, interesting time to do this, what with the recent monopoly ruling. This is sure to draw more attention from regulators and lawmakers.

Anyone here understand what is the material difference between uBO and uBO Lite? I don't understand what is meant by

It's worth noting that while the new app ships with similar features to the original version, including core ad-blocking features, it doesn't support dynamic filters for blocking scriptlet injection.

Or if there are any other differences not mentioned.
