As advertising is a huge part of Google's revenue, I'm surprised they've let an extension like uBlock Origin work on Chrome as long as they have. If you haven't tried Firefox in a while, it's time to give it another shot. If I could get Firefox to handle Microsoft Teams meetings, I wouldn't even have Chrome installed.

Your point about Firefox not handling the Microsoft teams meeting is interesting as I have found that google meet video calls do not work well or at all on Firefox the last time I checked. my best guess is that this is Google trying to entrench their browser.

I've been using Brave and I recently decided to give Firefox another shot. I clicked an Amazon affiliate link from one of Ben Vallack's YouTube videos for a handheld espresso maker. Next thing I know I'm getting tons of ads on Facebook for espresso machines. This was with uBlock installed.

I never, _ever_ had that happen with Brave. In the context of Google deprecating MV2 - Brave's shields are hard coded into the Chromium chromebase and do not rely on MV2 or MV3 [1]. They will also be continuing support for MV2 extensions.

Note: There isn't really any discussion on that HN post, but perhaps this may spark some.

Brave is still Chrome, just with a different skin.

I'm against Chromium the engine's monopoly, not just Chrome. Monoculture is bad for the internet.

If it weren't for (mobile) Safari, we'd have a new IE situation on our hands.
