I have always used Firefox on all my devices, except for one: the Chromebook I was forced to buy because of compatibility with my college's test proctoring spyware.

On that device, not only did uBlock Origin quit working the other day, but today Chrome even kept disabling uBlock Lite with the error message that "This extension reloaded itself too frequently". It could be some kind of legitimate bug, but it sure feels a lot like foul play on Google's part.
