I only ever see online advertising when I’ve installed a new browser and I’m searching for uBlock Origin.
And I have to scroll to find the actual genuine link.

Which browser do you use? There’s no entries in the extensions menu in mine until you install some.
Firefox and Librewolf.
Firefox has it at or near top of recommendations.
Librewolf already has it preinstalled from the start, so even one step less.
I don’t use Firefox any more. I was one of their early adopters (back when it was Firebird IIRC), but a few months ago I’d just flat had enough of their shady stuff and AI bullshit. I used Librewolf for a while but gave up on it because privacy at the price of compatibility is fine until you need something that relies on that compatibility. I haven’t settled on a forever browser just yet, I’m kinda waiting until Servo becomes a viable web engine and browsers built on it emerge. For now, Vivaldi seems to be the least-bad.
Vivaldi… does that have a full uBlock addon? I thought it was based on Chrome, which doesn’t have that any more?
It sure does. One of the reasons I’ve picked it for now. I’m not fully settled on it yet, might try others later.
It’s also anti-open web since it’s just chromium. Nothing superior for your privacy over Firefox.
Please don’t put words in my mouth. I didn’t claim it was “superior for privacy”. What I said was it appears to be the least-bad option for my specific use case right now.
Okay. Not sure what “shady stuff” means, but Chromium is certainly worse for the user in any way I can interpret as “shady”.
It’s vibes all the way down.
Would you mind elaborating? I feel like I’m out of the loop!
