100% this a search engine selling ads on the web is more of an advantage than making a browser. It leads to market advantage due to deeper knowledge of properties than other engines get based on ad placement and passive access to authenticated pages. And it's monetized. The browser isn't.
- cruzcampo 1y agoThe browser is what allowed them to kill effective adblocking with Manifest V3. Both the ad business and the browser should be split off. Google should really be dozens of businesses.

- cruzcampo 1y agoI use Zen Browser. Nonetheless, the market dominance of Chrome means that the ad blocking industry has been negatively impacted by their monopolist behavior.
- jay_kyburz 1y agoI've been using chrome with ublock lite on my linux laptop where Firefox is really slow, and I've not seen any difference. I know the advanced features are missing, but most of the ads are still gone.
