@fasnix Because of the speed and the ease of use. I have things I use Chrome for, and other things I use Firefox for. Thanks for the suggestion but I will never use Vivaldi. But I will probably replace Chrome with the Microsoft equivalent it uses the same extensions and I know how to tune it.

What speaks against VivaldI?

Edge becomes more and more AdWare.
The only ones profiting from that is Microsoft, not you as a user.

@fasnix I have no issues with Edge, I know how to secure it. I have no interest in ever using Vivaldi, thank you for your concern.

@ecksearoh @fasnix Since Edge follows Chromium/ Chrome there is a good chance extensions like this will stop working in Edge as well.

@burkettlabs I doubt it, and even if it does there's always vanilla chromium.

@ecksearoh @burkettlabs Google is not only disabling uBlock as in "toggling a switch". They're removing APIs, making any ad blocking extension stop working properly for "security reasons". So to effectively keep supporting these extensions alternative browsers based on Chromium will either have to do a lot of extra work or implement their own ad blocker and boy oh boy is Google going to make it hard for them.
