With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Wow thank you!

I hope you won’t mind. Isn’t the extension Adblock plus, 1 blocker and AdGuard redundant? Or does each serve a different purpose?

[–] Frostwolf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree they’re overkill. But there are sites that detect the adblocker and I just experiment which one they don’t detect. Most of the time, adguard does amazing. But some websites only adblock is not detected. So it’s a cat and mouse game for me. :) I installed them all just in case and activate and deactivate depending on which sites I am on.

Oh got it. Seems prudent. I’ll try that 😁
