Ask HN: What browser to use after Google limits adblockers?

Today Google Chrome disabled my adblocker, and the internet with ads experience shocked me.<p>I can still re-enable it, but it seems like June 2025 is the actual deadline for support removal. Ostensibly because uBlock Origin doesn&#x27;t comply with Googles &quot;best practices&quot;, but in reality because it threatens their business model.<p>Now I&#x27;m faced with the personal question of which browser to migrate to. The whole ecosystem seems very unhealthy to me, with Firefox getting 80% of their revenue because of Google, Brave being based on Chromium, and there virtually not being any other independent browser because writing a browser is an insanely complex undertaking.<p>Thoughts from the HN crowd?

Related question- what would have to happen to Safari before it becomes an alternative for Chrome users? I understand it doesn’t have bleeding edge features, but as a developer you can’t afford to target those anyway. As a user it’s lean and fast and battery life is excellent compared to Chrome. What am I missing?

Thorium is the best Chromium-based browser, which is a necessity on many web pages, due to Google embracing and extending web standards.<p>When a chromium browser isn&#x27;t necessary, I recommend SeaMonkey or PaleMoon, which are both Gecko-based web browser, like Firefox.

Firefox, though some variant like Librewolf is better. Firefox is packed full of bloat nonsense garbage nowadays.

I just use Firefox with uBlock origin.

Firefox and (more importantly) Pi-Hole.

i use all of them, each one is a separate tool.
