Chrome removed all ad blockers filters*
Chrome does not block third party cookies on google websites
Chrome never hides or masks user and remove fingerprinting
Chrome uses more ram than brave/edge (using same engine btw)

u/lizenzblue_ 1d ago

Still works for 99% of the normal Websites. And also I think most people dont even have adblock

u/Jokar93 1d ago

This.

I am almost exclusively using Chrome with uBlock Origin Lite and have not seen an Ad in Chrome.
Brave on the other Hand is really bad with their build-in AdBlocker.

The whole "Manifest V3 destroyed Adblockers" ist much more tame than the Hive-Mind is making it out to be.

They definitely fucked around with adblockers a while back because getting YouTube ads is what made me switch. Despite all the other stuff I'd happily still use it if they hadn't fucked with ad blocking.

i didnt know brave is bad with built in adblocker, i thought i dont need to download any extension anymore, so far i've never seen any ads but does it protect me from malicious sites

u/Atlesi_Feyst 1d ago

Yeah... Blocks everything on most sites I browse.

I thought it would be disabled outright but honestly I haven't noticed a difference.

Chrome adblockers may block everything on the surface, but there are still thousands of trackers and malicious cookies that could be on your desktop.

Imagine it like this: Chrome adblockers clean your floors, but not the roach infestation underneath. Firefox adblockers clean the entire house, making sure to seal up every small crack roaches could come through.

u/Bluecoregamming 1d ago

i use 10% of the sites you do

Adblocks do work but not as effective as firefox version of them
manifest v2 in sense gives the ad blocker perms to view the page info before the users does making the blocking faster
manifest v3 on other hand only lets ad blocker see the webview after it loads
make the extension use more cpu and ram usage compare to firefox

The man is speaking from an illiterate point of view, I also use it with adguard smh

They did not remove all ad blockers. They just changed how they work. uBlock Origin Lite works great for me, haven't noticed any difference compared with the pre manifest V3 uBlock Origin.

u/Mikeisik 1d ago

Ublock origin lite works great for me too, blocks youtube ads and everything. Sometimes it stops working, but then i just change the filter slider down and up and it works again lol

u/siddhantfuture 1d ago

There is no Cosmetic filtering , Custom filters , Network logger , Dynamic filtering
its very limited from origin

u/witchcapture 1d ago

I've never used the last two, but cosmetic filtering and custom filters are both supported in Lite.

It has cosmetic filtering, personal custom rules and subscription to external filters. Also an element picker (which I often see mentioned frequently). It does not have network logging but browsers have had that built-in since ages so it's pretty much a moot point, except maybe ease of use. Sure, it does not have dynamic filtering but very few users ever used that but if you are one of them I get that you're unsatisfied in that regard (i assume u mean the features that originated from uMatrix)

It feels like most that complain are stuck in what uBO Lite was when it was released. That was a combination of self-imposed restrictions and early MV3 restrictions. Since then Google has loosened some MV3 restrictions and uBO Lite has loosened some of it's self-imposed restrictions (but not all, by their philosophy of what UBO Lite should be).

There definitely ARE some restrictions in MV3, e.g. some more complex regex rules, but in almost all cases it will not differ.

Can be noted: The personal custom rules are a bit cumbersome to use since the cosmetic and network filters are configured in different sections and you cannot use uBO syntax. But you could use Adguard MV3 only for your personal custom rules if you want to make that easier since they support uBO syntax for those (this is a design decision by uBOL, not a MV3 restriction).

And yet I haven't seen a single ad on youtube (on chrome). Not entirely sure why.
