In my former job, I had no choice but use Chrome due to work rules. If I couldn't have installed uBlock at the time, it would have killed me. So I hope for people like me, there's at least an adblocker that has a small chance of working in Chrome.

I use Firefox but there are web apps that just plain do not test on it. Office 365 is one of those and Word is basically non functional...more than normal.

for anyone wondering, there's already a manifest v3 version of ublock origin available from the same developer.

I'm trying to make the switch to Firefox, but I'm running into some issues. The main one being, I travel internationally a lot for work and rely heavily on chrome automatically translating every web page I visit. Is there a way to have this on both my desktop and mobile (android)? When I look at the available extensions there are like 15 available... Thankfully one of them is uBlock Origin

FF doesn't do that I think. There are addons that u can use for it though.

I like how they mention Internet Explorer.
