Makes you wonder how many others are out there covertly tracking our every move and collecting every bit of data on us they can and sending it to who knows who?

These are the main extensions that I use in Cent Browser (Chrome)

• Adblock Plus
• Extension Police
• FB Purity
• Page Monitor
• Pop Guard (In the past I was using Pop up blocker for Chrome aka Poper Blocker)
• Tab Suspender
• TinEye Reverse Image Search

Firefox

• AdGuard
• Chrome Store Foxified
• FB Purity
• Google Reverse Image Search
• New Tab from Location Bar
• Open Tabs Next to Current
• Page Translator
• Select After Closing Current
• TinEye Reverse Image Search
• Undo Close Tab
• Undo Closed Tabs Button

I don't use Firefox anymore. Most of those addons are to give Chrome the same functionality as Cent Browser has natively.

The tracking is optional though, just like with Ghostery. I have just noticed, that K9 blocks poperblocker as well. :emoji_expressionless:

[Deletedmessiah]

I've been using Adguard's popup blocker via tampermonkey for a while. It has worked well so far.

Google removed it from the store.
From the article linked:

UPDATE (25.07): All the apps and extensions mentioned in the article are no more available on Google Play and Chrome WebStore.

I didn't realise that. I may use it again, with that disabled. The alternative popup blockers that I tried, were terrible at blocking popups, in comparison to Poper Blocker.

That is just great, that means, I will not be able to reinstall it.

I guess, I will have to look at those inferior alternatives now.

EDIT: It seems, that "Popup Blocker (strict)" will do, for now. I just had to set the default action to deny request and ignore popup notifications.
