Internet Explorer was Chrome's rival and now it's just another Chrome browser. That's kinda sad.This. I gave up Brave last year for Firefox after this news. Thank god Firefox didn't copy the others and become a "Chromium" browser.
Nah. That was a piece of insecure trash software.RIP, IE6.
Isn't Brave just Chromium? I would imagine Brave would also block uBlock.That's just too much work for most.
Either switch to Brave or Firefox.
It about 1 month and 1 week left before Google Chrome will start block uBlock Origin add on in June 2024.
Urgent to everyone must do backup current versions of Google Chrome , Brave now before end of May 2024.
C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application
C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application
To block auto updates then you must rename folder "Update" to "No Update" will cause auto update to stop working.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update
C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Update
Also don't forget backup your Google Chrome, Brave, etc profile files
Windows 10, 11 to 12 (same path since Windows Vista, 7, 8.x)
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data
Manifest v3 files maybe can damage or overwrite / replace to Manifest v2 files due to auto updates cause uBlock Origin add on to stop working or removed / deleted.
If you already backup old versions and profiles at same time then you are in good luck to protect them also can downgrade to old versions over new update versions. Never forget to block auto updates from services in background running would help more.

Wait and what happen in June 2024. Everyone should report any problems when it happened very soon.
The web browser is one thing you really shouldn't run an outdated versions of, so its not really good advice to help people stop their browser from updating. Look what is possible with webkit exploits on the Wii U for example.If you already backup old versions and profiles at same time then you are in good luck to protect them also can downgrade to old versions over new update versions. Never forget to block auto updates from services in background running would help more.

It's nostalgic to me.Nah. That was a piece of insecure trash software.
there were rumors of it scanning your PC's executables and sending list back to Google for supposed malware checks.
I also hate the idea that Google and has such a massive stranglehold on the internet due to mainstream adoption.
If you want a non-brand-name browser you can also try what Ethelbert suggestedHonestly, while I'm not completely finished with Chrome (Modern Edge is a chromium based browser), I stopped using the official chrome site because it takes way too much CPU on my PCs. Edge might be the same thing, but at least it's a bit more bearable and it has a ton of features that aren't included in Firefox (if it did, then I would've moved to Firefox or Waterfox a while back)
If you wanted to at least a little more free of any large companies involvement in your web browser and just use the open source bits, you can try Ungoogled Chromium. I'll temporarily use this or Edge (If I'm on Windows) to use tools like VIA or WLED that require WebSerial for programming microcontrollers, but if I decided I needed to stop using Firefox or Safari for whatever reason, I'd use it full time.Use ungoogled-Chromium-based package from our guy Marmaduke.
