(x-posted comment) There’s a MV3 alternate (same dev!) “uBlock Origin Lite” which this article completely misses out on mentioning: …google.com/…/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh

There are certain websites and tools which need chrome/chromium making it a necessary evil; for example there’s a new trend in firmware flashing of devices like ESP32 boards and HAM/GMRS radios which are web based and use Chrome tech. This new MV3 fork isn’t as good as the original but it’s better than nothing and does stop some ad trash.
