One of my co-workers switched to UBlock Lite instead of UBlock Origin and now the ads are back.

Now he's working on switching to a non-Google browser.

Good job, Google. You have killed Google for yet another former customer.

Chrome users are not customers, they're the product.

OK, then. Killing their product.

Haven't found a better fork with vertical tabs and the customization Floorp offers. So Floorp it is.

You are not Google’s customer. You’re the product they sell to their customers.

Edit: Made this comment before refreshing the post to see the person above me. What they said.

I 'm forced to use Chrome on my work laptop and it is the worst browser (even before the disabling of Manifest V2), but for security I can't access many systems with even another chromium based browser . Funnily IT forces an extension on us and it isn't compatible with Manifest V3.
