uBo is the only reason I find browsing the web at all tolerable anymore. As a test I turned it off to view this article and almost crashed my browser with a dozen auto play video ads This would mean I would find the energy to get over anything that is holding me on chrome, like saved passwords etc.

Agree. The web is literally unusable without uBlock Origin. It should be a standard browser feature at this point, like popup blockers.

it _is_ a browser feature for e.g. brave, vivaldi and (experimental, afair) firefox.

Popup blockers were also a differentiator, once.

		The difference is that the biggest popup offender was not the same company behind the browser everyone uses... Just imagine if Netscape and MS made all their money from popups at the time.

In addition to uBlock Origin, I also have a few piholes (two locations), and I use NoScript as well. It's nice to have multiple layers of defense.

I personally consider uBlock Origin as an Internet infrastructure component. I have no ... _no_ idea whatsoever how some people use the Internet without it.

uBlock Origin Lite with MV3 works perfectly fine on Chrome. I don't notice a difference to the classic uBlock Origin, it even has a element zapper nowadays.

It's quite possible that we're just not meant to view the web. Those companies that even maintain websites might intend for us to really view things on their phone app. The garbage you see on the website is then not just some parasitic draining of your spiritual health, but a disincentive designed to convince you to stop using the web altogether.

		Like Home Depot not showing the item location in store from the website, only the app.
