ICYMI: Ad-Shield co-CEO: 60-80% of ad-blocked traffic is invisible to sites: Over 50% of blocked traffic comes from network settings, not user choice, Ad-Shield's Dustin Cha says, leaving publishers to recover 10-30% of hidden audience. https://ppc.land/ad-shield-co-ceo-60-80-of-ad-blocked-traffic-is-invisible-to-sites/ #AdBlockers #OnlineAdvertising #DigitalMarketing #AdTech #Publishers

A friendly reminder:
DO NOT USE GOOGLE CHROME!
If you ask why, #google removes manifest v2 in #chrome 150, which is needed to run effective #adblockers like #uBlockOrigin.

Chrome tightens grip as ad blockers fade away
"Google presents te change as necessary upgrade to reduce security risks & technical complexity. Critics question whether limiting #adblockers also conveniently protects te firm's #advertising #revenues.🤦♂️ This irony is hard to ignore.. #Security experts hv long recommended ad blockers as a first line of defence against #malicious ads & #online #tracking"
👉 Will #governments stop forcing #Chrome down their citizens' throats?🤔

#Google #Chrome's next update will mark the end of popular #adblockers
Move to #ManifestV3 has been in works for years at this point, with one of the main points of criticism from users being that the change would break most #ad blockers due to the new permissions structure and Google’s focus on privacy. The impacts of that were felt broadly in 2024 and, now, Google is closing out #ManifestV2 and, in turn, popular ad blockers like #uBlockOrigin.

An upcoming release of the #Chrome #browser (ver. 150 or 151) will either disable all #adblockers, or render them ineffective. Those who gifted Chrome and its derivatives an overwhelming market dominance have two options:
1. Switch to a non-Chrome based browser. That's limited to #Firefox and its derivatives for now. Hopefully more in the future.
2. Surrender your online #privacy, #security and #agency forever to #bigtech companies like #Google.

#Google to End #ManifestV2 Support in #Chrome, Disabling #uBlockOrigin and Other #AdBlockers
[…] “Users can switch to a non - #Chromium browser such as #Firefox, which continues to support Manifest V2 extensions”.
“Firefox continues to support Manifest V2 alongside V3 extensions, and #Mozilla has stated it has no current plans to remove V2 support”.
“ #RaymondHill, the developer of uBlock Origin, pointed out that Firefox offers the best experience for users who want full uBlock Origin functionality”.
“The Chromium standard is also affecting other major browsers such as #MicrosoftEdge and #Opera. While some have indicated they may support V2 temporarily, the overall trend points toward adopting Manifest V3 across the Chromium ecosystem”.

🚨 Chrome is closing the final loopholes that kept legacy ad blockers alive.
Starting with Chrome 150/151, Google is removing the remaining Manifest V2 workarounds, meaning extensions like uBlock Origin (MV2) will no longer function in Chrome. Users will be limited to Manifest V3-compatible blockers with reduced capabilities.

NextDNS paired with PrivacyBadger is a great way to lessen annoying advertisments! I have a couple of other extensions that also make browsing life more pleasant

There is another reason not to run browser extensions in private mode; If no extensions are allowed in private mode, when you need to determine why a site is not working properly, it's easy to open the browser in private mode and check the site in the same browser without extensions. -

Went to the village shop to get some food and returned to find the PC fully locked up ( needed a power cycle to restart!)
I suspect this is more fault of #browsers with multiple tabs left open (there's an open issue for this on #Firefox) than any flaw with #LinuxMint itself, on top of websites being more bloated and #adtech scripts and #adblockers fighting one another.
Successfully installed #Anydesk on #Linux PC, so can access #XFCE desktop remotely from my Windows laptop (we use Anydesk a lot for remote support)
