    No. Time to switch to Firefox or derivative such as Librewolf.

      when I swapped my laptops, I already had chrome on the newer ones which I’m still using, but when I heard about this ublock origin saga, I started putting all my passwords in protonpass, and customised my Firefox install to my liking, CSS and everything. All ready to switch now, and I’m gonna be thanking my past self profusely for actually choosing to switch instead of vegetating.

        To add: the CEO got kicked out of Mozilla and switched to crypto after he was caught donating to outlaw gay marriage.

            He got caught sending money to a bigoted organization, got in trouble, and then embraced dark money.

            Until he makes it right to the LGBTQ+ community and makes his finances public, only a fool or another bigot would give him the benefit of the doubt.
