Big browsers are about to throw a wrench in your ad-free paradise

I'd like to remind everyone that you can still block ads with such Chromium browsers that are deprecating Manifest V3. Extensions include AdGuard and uBlock Origin Lite.

What this changes is that (adblocking) extensions are losing some permissions (like manually picking out elements to block, web requests to update the block lists, etc).

Why do you feel the need to remind people about a poor alternative?

I feel the need to correct a misconception, of course. Yes I am aware of the Firefox and uBlock Origin combo.
