According to recent user reports, uBlock Origin is quickly disappearing from the Chrome Web Store. The official page for the ad-blocking extension now states that it is unavailable because it doesn’t comply with Chrome’s “best practices” for add-ons. However, we can confirm that the page is still accessible from our EU Windows client.
Time for everyone to purge Google Chrome from their systems. Google needs to learn the hard way that people aren’t going to tolerate this kind of hostility and reminded that they aren’t the only browser.
The problem is proprietary systems that are mandatory to interface with. I have chrome installed for these stupid bullshit situations and as a result it’s constantly so far out of date that I just end up having to reinstall it the once or twice a year I am forced to use it.
Government interfaces are the one I run into the most. I recently had to log into nppes, the us government database for updating information attached to the national provider identifier number for healthcare practitioners. Super important thing, literally necessary to bill every single insurance in America and to join basically any practice. Locked out of the site unless you use edge or chrome. Like scripting on the page that makes the page blanked out for any other browser (including older versions)
Similarly I just had to pay the local tax bill in my county and their website had the same deal although they also supported safari. The website is blocked out with Firefox and brave. Could get past that but the website still didn’t work right even trying all 3 of their “supported browsers” on 2 different computers and a vm. lmao except I still have to figure out how to pay my taxes
Oh, we all have to have to deal with proprietary bullshit sometimes, specially when the subject is government BS.
Just don’t daily drive Chrome and ya good 👍
How about we just get rid of Chome? Who needs learning when you have alternatives
