It's been easily avoided for years now despite alarmists saying ad block would stop working as far back as 2020.

I'll believe it when I see it, and the day it happens I'll switch to FF. Until then I'm not going to reduce the user experience with this armchair virtue signalling that you all pretend is making a difference.
So... You're already not using Chrome...
Vivaldi is based off of Chromium though
Chromium isn't Chrome... And they work to keep the worst of what googie tries to force into the core chromium project from Chrome out of their implementation. One of the benefits of chromium itself being open source.
That depends heavily on who you ask, around here.
