What is a good free replacement for uBlock Origin in Chrome?


Just don't forget folks, using adblockers is stealing wages from independent websites like us, hosting, moderation & all the international compliance isn't free.

That registry-edit has to do with google Chrome.
My experience with app-oriented registry edits is that they function in both Windows 10 and 11.

That's good to know, but I also went into the registry to look that setting up and it wasn't there, (probably because I never installed Chrome on this laptop in the first place, and I'm not about to start now), but I do have entries for Brave and Edge in there, though...

I have my blocker turn off on sites that I visit regularly and trust. In return I would suggest that the site don't break this trust by deploying really annoying web ads.

I use Privacy Badger in Chrome, Edge and Firefox. It's especially good when used with the latter two browsers' built-in ad blockers. It's development is sponsored by the Electronic Freedom Foundation, very trustworthy, regularly maintained, and available in MV2 & MV3 versions. While mainly an anti-tracking extension, it happens to block quite a few ads.
