The best way to block ads is to run a Pi-hole or similar as the dns on your LAN.

That way everyone can enjoy ad free browsing and more without being tied into any particular browser.

Chrome e Edge estão eliminando o suporte. Quando uma extensão é distribuída pelo Firefox Add-ons, ela passa pelo mecanismo de assinatura de extensões da Mozilla. O Firefox verifica a assinatura quando instala/ativa a extensão; essa assinatura permite detectar se os arquivos do pacote foram alterados depois de assinados. Assegurar que não tenham inserido spyware ou malware o Firefox não consegue garantir.

Because it doesn't actually do the job, like UBO does.

That NEVER happens with UBO, the only genuine ad blocker.

There is chromium-based @Vivaldi that may ships an integrated tracker and as blocker. It may not be uBlock, but it is still working nicely and lets you import custom rules.
And they made an anti-AI pledge.

WTF is wrong with people?! She's got everything, and she's dicking around with petty larceny.

"Is the store making money? Yes? Cool... We'll keep going with it then..."

She doesn't need anything. It's just passive income to blow some time on to do /something/. That's assuming you don't want to do anything for anyone else due to philosophical reasons(LoL) or whatever...

There is also @Waterfox @librewolf @zenbrowser browsers based on Firefox source. Waterfox, LibreWolf are more privacy focused, Zen seems to care about the UI.

On Android I would use WaterFox, except they don't have access to the security API for security key (YubiKey) support yet. LibreWolf on Windows is grand - no AI crap, no telemetry, no Pocket, and fixed few other bits.
