    Great explainer about the changes, and reasons why it actually behooves Google to continue to allow ad blockers in some form. All that said…this still reaffirms my decision to go Firefox, always and forever, to get the most complete privacy options.

      I’ve used Firefox for so many years…can’t remember precisely. If there was a better option, then I’d be open to it.

        Only better option I can think of is not using the web

      Firefox has been great since Quantum released. They finally fixed the performance issues and it’s still more flexible in what it can do than the Chromium browsers.
