Yep, the second that I can't install ublock origin on Chrome will be the second I stop using it.

Currently I mostly use FF for the web and Chrome for Dev and testing but if I have a tab open I'll use it.

If I can't use ublock origin I'll lock down Chrome so that I can only visit a whitelist of things I need to Dev/test and switch entirely to Firefox.

We require adblockers at work for security reasons, so we'll be migrating everyone to Firefox or Brave once this happens.

Thank you, lots of detail provided.

Excerpt: "What we see are the public statements, for public consumption, they are designed to "sell" the changes to the wider public. What we do not see is what is being said in private meetings by officers who get to decide how to optimize the business."

Thank you gorhill for what you did to the web community.
