Google recently disabled uBlock Origin and other extensions for Chrome users with no apparent option to restore them. The good news is that you can still make uBlock Origin work. Here is how.
Is there an easy way to do this? I tried it for YouTube cause they slow Firefox down to a crawl but it didn’t seem to do anything. Maybe the extension I downloaded was at fault but I couldn’t find an easy way to just do it in Firefox without an extension.
This is the Firefox extension I use, I would check the headers your browser passes with WhoAmI to verify your user-agent, alternatively you can use invidious to get around YouTube’s bullshit.
Rent portal? You mean bank account with direct debit and/or electronic transfer. What is a rent portal? How can you possibly benefit from having a website just to act as a middle man to collect your personal info?
Because not everyone has a bank account. Some people get paid via a cash card or similar (as an alternative to paper checks or direct deposit if they don’t have a bank account). This allows them to pay in alternate ways. But additionally all trouble calls/maintenance requests are done through that same portal. I signed my lease through it.
well this is just silly advice. that’s like saying “Don’t use Chrome, use Vivaldi” it’s all chromium thus it will also disable uBlock.
Get off ALL chromium based browsers. I loved Vivaldi but I haven’t used it in well over a year. Switch to FF or a Fork of it like Floorp OR if you’re like me and don’t like Mozilla use QuteBrowser and never have to worry about anything ever again.
Well some haven’t disabled ublock yet. So it isn’t that silly if chrome based is what they need to run for certain sites. Just use something that is based off it and isn’t stoping ublock yet.
I have to use Chrome to access a couple of sites that don’t play nice with Firefox.
I bet those sites will play nice if you switch your user-agent to display as chrome.

I host a public Invidious instance for folks with a Canadian IP - https://inv.halstead.host/
If they don’t play nice then fuck em
That’s my general attitude, but I need these for work.
My new rent portal is one of these sites. Can’t just not pay rent because I don’t like chromium browsers.

Doesnt always work like that.
Just use edge, it’s chrome based. Or any other chrome based browsers that aren’t google chrome?

Replace herpes with chlamydia.
Edge is also killing Ublock
