Get a better browser. If you use the browser from an ad company, that's on you.

it is 2026, you should not be using Chrome

No, but Chrome is not the only browser.

I'm using Brave and Vivaldi - still the same chromium engine as Google's Chrome but both support ublock origin for now.

I do web development, it makes no sense for me to use a browser most of the public doesn't use. Also I have a ton of extensions that help with development. Firefox is painful.

Actually, it makes a ton of sense for you to use multiple different browsers.

> Firefox is painful.

What exactly is painful about Firefox? It's so painful that you'd rather go without an adblocker?

I'm not used to its dev tools. It takes me a lot longer to find my way around.

Every time someone complains about firefox it's something trivial like this... "I don't like the default download location." / "I don't like how the dev tools opens on the bottom." / "I don't like the way the tab bar looks." Absolutely wild to me that using a browser without an adblocker, forever, is better than spending a week or whatever getting used to the different dev tools.

You can have two different browsers, one for work and one for non-work.
