The recent removal of uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store has sparked significant debate among users. Some commentators highlight Mozilla's missed opportunity to attract users disillusioned by Google's decision. Furthermore, Chrome's suggestion of uBlock Origin Lite after removal raises concerns about Google's motives behind promoting a simplified version of the extension. While Brave users have reported that the original uBlock Origin is still accessible, questions remain about the limitations of uBlock Origin Lite in comparison. Users express dissatisfaction with Chrome's handling of the situation, and many are considering alternative browsers like Firefox or Brave for better privacy. However, there’s hesitance due to perceived issues with Firefox’s privacy policy. The broader implications suggest a growing frustration with Chrome's policies and a potential shift towards other browsers that prioritize user privacy. Amidst this, users are exploring alternative solutions like DNS-based ad blockers.
