    Showing people that they can avoid ads by switching from chromium might make more people use adblockers.

    I get flabbergasted whenever I talk to someone and realize they’re unaware that such things exist. I hope all (according to the google store entry for ublock origin) 10,000,000 of the ublock origin users switches from chromium based browsers to, say, firefox…

    Feels like chromium is the new internet explorer…

      That’s why Google is trying to launch the “Web Integrity API” that will essentially allow them to mandate any website accessible to or using Google Services to ban browsers that have ad blockers.

      To me it looks like a tech savy kind of hurdle, once people learn about it and start thinkering they start to use it also.

      Better for us when people start caring for what they tolerate from corps.
