Apart from actual malware, this is the only browser extension I know of to have been blacklisted by Google. If you want to use it in Chrome you have to jump through hoops. For the record, I approve of AdNauseam. I have every right to browse the internet how I choose. My computer, my control. I am firmly against the corporization of the internet.
- dgzl 7y agoHell, I'm against advertising.
- amelius 7y ago> If you want to use it in Chrome you have to jump through hoops. Why would a potential AdNauseam user even use Chrome?
- sanxiyn 7y agoMaybe their internal website is Chrome-only and broken on Firefox. Such things exist. (I actually have such personal experience.)
- teh_klev 7y agoMultiple and fully isolated user profiles - hugely important for the work I do. I know Firefox has containers, but they're not really feature complete compared to Chrome's, and the UI experience leaves a lot to be desired, there's just to many friction points. edit: forgot to also mention, I'm also aware FF has profiles as well (about:profiles) but the implementation has too many speedbumps. As I mentioned in another post on HN, the profile manager needs to be an upfront and first class UI citizen, something hidden away with a fairly poor UIX.
- duiker101 7y agoVivaldi also has profiles, added recently! (Uses Chromium)
- teh_klev 7y agoThanks, I'll take it for a drive. My big concern about third party browsers built on Chromium is knowing if they're up-to-date with their security fixes. Also there's that lack of openness about all the stuff they're building on top of Chromium, which is maybe a bit rich seeing as I rely on Chrome :).
- mrighele 7y agoFirefox has profiles too, although they are probably even even harder to use than containers.
- teh_klev 7y agoYeah, I forgot to add to my comment something about their Profile implementation which feels like another half baked idea.
- im3w1l 7y agoYou can also start firefox with a -p flag to get a profile selector on startup.
- skykooler 7y agoThey're a pain to use though since you need to pass that on the command line.
- ghoji 7y agoChrome is (or was) good. Safari is fast, but is a bit clunky and doesn’t have many extensions, and Firefox has never felt like a proper macOS app. Maybe it’s better on Windows where platform standards are less strict.
- 55555 7y agoAnticaptcha was also blacklisted because it let's people pay about $2 instead of solving 1,000 reCaptchas.
- magduf 7y agoI just want to say that I think "AdNauseum" is a brilliant name for this software.
