   @nekohayo if Chrome blocks ad-blockers then I'm gone

     Of course! #Epiphany / #GNOMEWeb is one of the very few non-Blink-engine FLOSS #browsers out there. For this reason, and since I'm a @gnome contributor, I've been helping Epiphany & @WebKitGTK with lots of bug reporting & testing in recent months, so that we don't just have "Firefox vs the world".

     My performance tracker bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245783

     My big UX wish: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/1835

     The WEI proposal goes further than that. It's a way for websites to block people who are using any kind of modified browsers, including adblockers. So it'd not just be Chrome disabling adblockers but them making it so that websites will break for all non-WEI–browsers.
     
     @nekohayo, thank you for mentioning Epiphany! Such a great browser 👍🏻

     @nekohayo @Sandra @WeavingWithAI @WebKitGTK @gnome thanks for all the bug reporting and testing effort! We may not say it often but ut's super appreciated, and has already helped to ship performance improvements 🤩

     Of course there is still work to do, and usually the main complication is figuring out where exactly the problems are—web engines are huge and complex! :blobsweat:
