… or you can instead phase out those browsers who try to force blocker restrictions i.e. spyware on you (e.g. chrome and such), and use one of the browsers where you can use the full-featured (not "lite") uBlock Origin instead, e.g. Firefox.
I disagree with their politics, I'm concerned by the multiple privacy incidents, and I generally refuse to support them until they refocus on Firefox instead of all the other stuff they're doing.
If they worked only on Firefox, I'd have nothing against them. As it stands, I can't even donate to Firefox if I want to.
then again, if the makers of one big browser (and via there also the derived browsers) start force-shoving spyware upon you (by restricting blockers), it comes down to a decision of how you set your priorities. Personally, It's a clear cut red line, but you do you.

Firefox might be an okay browser, but that would imply supporting Mozilla.
I've been meaning to switch to Vivaldi. Just as soon as the onboarding dialog stops crashing.
I wonder how bad does Mozilla have to be that you have to continue using Chrome without ublock?
Worse than it is now, I suppose.
I'm curious: What's your reasons for not wanting to support Mozilla?

It’s only being phased out on Chrome, by Google.
Yes, to make us safer, now you enable developer mode and disable signature checking to install it locally, thanks Google
Soon, you won't be able to install it locally because the API it relies on will no longer be available. Use Firefox.
Or Microsoft Edge
Microsoft will eventually (TBD) remove Manifest v2 support from Edge, too[1].

Isn't that because Edge has been a wrapper around Chromium for a while now? Presumably support will follow upstream.
I thought Edge also did not support true ad blocking?
You can't change browser? Or is there something bigger happening?
Not everyone wants to change browsers.

Just checked, and it seems like it is. Not enabled by default for some reason.
It is not being phased out for Firefox.
