    They killed uBlock Origin. Fortunately uBlock Origin Lite has been working with Cromite, but I’m holding onto my Ungoogled Chromium install with full uBlock Origin till my dying breath.

      ublock origin lite sadly does only a fraction of what the normal ublock origin does. no javascript blocking, no remote fonts blocking, no large media element blocking, no granular dynamic filtering in that popup panel. i guess it’s still decent to block ads though, but so very crippled compared to the real deal

      But why do you love helping Google control web standards, when you could just be using a Mozilla-based browser instead?

        Now hold up there, pardner! I didn’t mention that I also use IronFox and LibreWolf/Mullvad! And honestly, Cromite has been crashing on me so much that I’ve switched my primary browser to IronFox.

          Could they stop fucking with ironfox though please, for the love of god stop changing the UI on me. I just want a browser that stays the same and works for years, my habits are consistently wrecked with each passing update
