And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.

    Out of curiosity what would you recommend? I’m aware of PiHole, but many struggle to get hold of a pi. Any other good options?

      You can run pihole on any linux system, not sure how compatibility is with windows/macos. I used to just run it locally. It also has some speed benefits to run it on the same machine that consumes it

      With a little work involving Wireguard, you could setup a pihole on DigitalOcean for between $6-$7 ($4-$5 if you use their cheapest server, but I want to tinker a bit so wanted just a tad more power) a month. It’s split tunnel configuration, so it only handles DNS. Essentially, no matter where I go, I can connect to the pihole and get its functionality. I get it on my phone no matter I’m on wifi or cell network. If something is blocked that I need real quick, I don’t even need to configure the pihole, just disconnect from Wireguard temporarily. So, it’ll run you the cost of the suggested retail cost of a pi4 and accessories basically each year.
