[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 1001706, member: 59283"] Agreed. While I do appreciate Gorhill giving users the option to use his extension post-MV2, by intentionally avoiding the read/modify permission, Chromium's uBO isn't going to be a big step up from DNS filtering (although it [I]is[/I] still a step up as it isn't restricted to filtering entire domains), and will have even less functionality than AdGuard's offering. (Although one could argue the lack of the read/modify permission might have some appeal. If uBO was acquired by a malicios actor, they couldn't harvest user data or insert adware without introducing said permission.) Personally, after giving AdGuard's MV3 extension a whirl on a handful of shady sites that aggressively push raunchy, malicious ads and having it fail to block them all, I'm debating whether I want to continue using Chromium browsers next year.
