Web ad giant Google to block ad-blockers in Chrome. For safety, apparently

So when the latest version of Chrome comes out it'll automatically install (of course) but will remove Ad-Block Extension? If so then I'll go to FireFox

Firefox is gladly installing extensions, including adblockers.

Well, Since i reinstalled windows 10 today, I also installed firefox while i was at it. I think the last time I used it was probably around 2010-2013 when spinoffs like Cyberfox and waterfox (and lolifox) were all the rage.

Ive revisited the browser for a few seconds out of curiosity once in a blue moon but i never stuck with it. So here i am now with all the extensions set up and bookmarks sync'd up and prepared for the apocalypse.

One thing that does annoy me though is that Ive had to install the android browser on my phone to get all the sync going. I now have 3 web browsers on my phone... Chrome, Adblock browser and now firefox.....

The great thing about firefox is you can still download and use the same extensions, but with that in mind, theres no telling if installing an adblocker made for the PC version will drain my phones battery even more

Can't stand firefox lately thier "quantum" UI is clunky and the throbber for page progress is annoying. Also the UI looks like metro on meth. My guest computer's core 2 duo struggles with only 1 tab of it. so opera it is on the guest pc.
