Install Firefox

No. I'd rather stop using the internet altogether. There are a lot of ways to block ads and MV2 is only one of them. Disregarding that MV3 adblockers are already a thing.
- While it is still possible to block some ads on chrome the remaining options are inferior. If that is enough for you go ahead.
  
  It's been ages since I have seen an ad on my non-ff browser, desktop or mobile. And it's not Chrome. If you think that the only way to block ads is crappy FF+an extension, then PEBCAK.
  
  calls Firefox crappy
  
  doesn't elaborate
  
  Ok buddy
- Google shill
  
  Yawn...
  
  Edit: are you shilling for the same Corp. whose revenues depend on Google itself? LOL
- How come you have such strong feelings against Firefox?
  
  Not trying to start a fight, just an honest question. Choosing to rather stop using the internet all together seems extreme for a browser that I use daily, but maybe I'm missing something in your use case.
  
  I strongly dislike Mozilla. They are as shitty as any other Corp., just with less money.
  
  So you unironically think they are worse than Google?
  
  ..really? I don't think you are being serious
  
  This person pops up every time someone on Lemmy mentions web browsers to aggressively deride Mozilla for being mostly funded by Google (which is a fair point that I agree with) and then they turn around and recommend Chromium-based browsers.
  
  I've tried and I found it difficult to engage in good-faith conversation with them.
  
  Please, learn not to ask if you don't want to ear responses that you don't like. Bye.
