     @davey_cakes Slightly better is good. I have a fair few extensions in chrome so I am slow to change but I will for ad blocking.

     @jk001 That doesn't explain the type of comments I'm seeing about it being time to change.

     @davey_cakes Well, I'd rather be getting ready than have to make the jump after ads show up everywhere. I do NOT miss the old days of popups all over the screen...

     @steve And Firefox is not behaving like this I take it? I mean, not being google isn't a reason to trust entirely

     @Antiqueight Google keep pushing features into the core code of Chrome making laughably unbelievable claims as to why they’re doing so.

     What they have in common is that they all reduce the users ability to influence what they see, giving the website owner full control, turning the web into something much closer to a broadcast / advertising / surveillance platform. Disabling ad and malware blockers is just part of it.

     https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/07/googles-web-integrity-api-sounds-like-drm-for-the-web/ - they seem to have paused this one, for now.
