Screw Chrome; both Safari and Chrome are inferior to Firefox' adblocking toolkit

And for the record Ublock Origin used to have a Safari extension. But that was forced to be phased out a couple of OS updates ago for reasons I can't remember.

In any case, as someone who will not touch Google's spyware browser with a ten-foot pole, it's nice to have a flagship alternative to Firefox that does decent adblocking.

Can you expand on this? Do they package those and use them with chrome? How are they using them?

		I simply meant that if you monitor a given application using on-system network tools, you quickly get an accurate idea of what/who that application talks to. And browsers are super-chatty to all sorts of destinations that are not immediately apparent to an end user who is just clicking around the web.

Dude do you even know how much telemetry Chrome sends back to the mothership?
