Google has made it clear they want to prevent adblocker extensions working in the future on Chrome, and since everything aside from Firefox is based on Chrome now, the choice is obvious.

Was reading this article earlier.
I dont use adblock, so have not noticed anything, i only use ublock origin.
https://www.pcgamer.com/its-not-just-you...-blockers/

But if things really get out of hand, I think I will be installing a pihole and block all advertising traffic in the whole home, that way, in theory chrome or whatever browser you use should not be able to tell, since no adblocker is required to be installed on the PC.

I haven't noticed issues with uBlock origin either. Although I have heard of others having issues, solved with a clean and update of the blocklists. I also run NoScript and only allow essential components. So many websites these days are absolutely clogged full of utterly unnecessary garbage.

My router (running Gargoyle) has a basic blocklist running also, which stops a lot of things, but it won't stop YouTube ads effectively. So I still need uBlock origin, or a 3rd party program like FreeTube or NewPipe etc.

I don't know if Pi-hole is better, I haven't tried it.
