/dev/null Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Adblockers will only be available in Chromium to enterprise users https://news.slashdot.org/story/19/05/29/2227219/google-to-restrict-modern-ad-blocking-chrome-extensions-to-enterprise-users For those unfamiliar with the difference between Chromium and Chrome: Chromium is an open source web browser. Chrome is Google's modified version of Chromium. Chromium is also the basis for Microsoft's re-engineered Edge browser. In addition, Chromium is available to most Linux distros. So basically Google wants to nerf ad blockers for everyone except paying customers of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge
BuffaloBill Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 It’s all about money. We’ve gone so far backwards from the days of thinking the internet was “good” and “free.”

Saxum Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Consider that one of the major slowdowns I see on internet sites is connection to google for such things as google fonts google should clean their own house first.

We’ve gone so far backwards from the days of thinking the internet was “good” and “free.” I'm not sure what this means... I would say it's much more realistic to educate everyone that none of this is free and eventually it all needs to be supported somehow. 5 hours ago, Limeaid said: Consider that one of the major slowdowns I see on internet sites is connection to google for such things as google fonts google should clean their own house first. Most of those fonts are now cached because they are used by so many sites. 18 hours ago, /dev/null said: Adblockers will only be available in Chromium to enterprise users https://news.slashdot.org/story/19/05/29/2227219/google-to-restrict-modern-ad-blocking-chrome-extensions-to-enterprise-users For those unfamiliar with the difference between Chromium and Chrome: Chromium is an open source web browser.

If I didn't serve ads, we would have been shut down 15 years ago. That's just reality. 2 1

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I use Brave. It's Chromium based. DuckDuckGo for the searches in private tabs. Been using it for a while. 99.9% on mobile, my phone. I just can't find a way to import years of Chrome bookmarks. Do I need to be on desktop. Then sync in some kind of way. I have the bookmarks synced in my Google account. Just want to get then to the Brave Browser. The Brave Browser is identical to Chrome/Chromium, with a few different placements. EDIT: Oh... The Brave Browser screams, lightning fast over Chrome.

Apple is a hardware company looking to sell you phones and computers. Google is a services/information gathering company looking to sell your information to other companies for marketing purposes. I don't think the level of tracking is comparable. 1
