Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

    The advertiser doesn’t get your data directly. The data is aggregated using differential privacy so it’s impossible for them to see any individual’s data.

      I don’t care. There is zero benefit to me. Advertising scum can go kick rocks.

        Would you rather pay for every site you use? Not every site can afford to have someone else cover the cost for you (which is how Lemmy servers are ran for example), and the only other business models that have worked online are either running ads, or getting users to pay for access.
