Not sponsored, I just genuinely like the product. Adguard doesn’t require manifests because it works outside the browser.
But trivial to circumvent. Just change the origin url from (for example) ‘ads.google.com’ to ‘google.com’ and you no longer can block ads based on DNS blocking.
While it is now not a hugh thread it will eventually happen when they manage to eradicate adblockers in the browser.
While I have an old Gmail account I do not use it. My main email account is with (not much better) Microsoft. I also have an account with Proton Mail, which will eventually be my only account.
I honestly don’t know anymore as I can’t find it. Maybe it was just different in older Android versions, but now I akso just have FF set as my default browser and that’s it.

On the other news I hope this bullshit is finally the straw that kills chrome.

Ublock origin is far way more advanced and complete than adguard, though. Cosmetic filtering, for example
Adguard does have cosmetic filtering thou. I’m talking about their paid app not dns servers.
The people who don’t run ad-blockers are many, and stupid.
Those many stupid people are paying for your gmail.
No. My electricity and internet bills do. #Self-hosted #Data-Hoarder.

Hope springs eternal. Most people without an adblocker don’t even notice that their web experience has become an ad-ridden hellscape.
Highly doubt it. So many other browsers on so many platforms (mobile, tv, Auto,…) are built on Chrome and will have this by extension.
And opening most links in Android apps still opens them in Chrome, even if Firefox is your default browser.
Time for Android to get the EU treatment.
I have stock Android device and have disabled Chrome and everything opens in FF (including the uBlock addon) in-app. You are spreading lies.
I have a Pixel 7, and random things open in Chrome.

Then disable Chrome, you galaxy-brain genius.
How about the US fixes some of its shit for once? Instead of exporting disgusting practices and forcing others to fix them?
I don’t have this issue m Samsung galaxy s9+ on stock Android.
Everything opens in the duckduckgo browser by default. The only time I see Chrome is when it’s for when a web site doesn’t load in ddg or firefox
you might have forgotten to set your browser of choice as the default webview
Where do you do that? There’s only an option for Default Browser as far as I can see, and that’s set to Firefox.
I found an option in the Developer Options called Webview implementation, but only the Android System Webview can be selected. On Pixel 7.
