The changeover has led to the deprecation of old APIs and breaking the tech many ad-blocking apps ran on.
Users have turned to third-party extensions to block out the rest.
Either way, Manifest V3 means ad blockers will be far less effective in Chrome.
Time to find a new web client, then.
Lets consider some alternatives.
Best ad blocking browsers
Brave
Brave is by far the smartest choice for blocking ads.
The online window was built specifically as an ad-free experience and has built-in ad blocking capabilities and anti-tracking tech.
It also uses secure HTTPS almost everywhere on the internet.
Plus, no ads being loaded means a faster browsing experience compared to most other options.
Ironically,Brave recently began a novel new opt-in ad service.
The mobile version of Firefox is also one of the best performing mobile browsers out there.
That said, we still give Firefox our general recommendationwhether as a Chrome alternativeor otherwise.
Chromium and Edge
Microsofts newChromium-based Edgeis also a possible alternative.
It has ad-blocking add ons, though it still relies on much of Googles infrastructure from Chrome.
Alternatively, if you want a chromium experience sans both Google and Microsoft, theres anopen-source Chromiumbrowser as well.
What about Tor?
Tor has a reputationas the most privacy-minded online window out there, but it doesnt block ads by default.
Its not that youcantblock ads in Toryou canbut rather that it can undermine Tors functionality.
