20 years ago we were born from a simple idea: what if the internet was open, free and accessible to everyone?

You could always switch to Firefox 😉
Google is starting to shut down uBlock Origin and other older ad blockers for Chrome, but there are steps you can take to keep blocking ads just like you always have.

great news: the fox is still very much alive and well and if you download the browser you'll get to see them right there on your desktop!
(This lil firey marble is the parent brand logo to rep more than just the browser, but the fox isn't going/hasn't gone anywhere.)

The other great thing is that on January 2023 ad-blocking extensions will still work on Firefox.

Your move Facebook.
Enough is enough. It's absurd that ads for shoes and deodorant receive more scrutiny than political ads.
This isn’t a free speech test. It’s a test of trust and it’s time Facebook stepped up to the plate.
We’ve made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought. Why? A few reasons…🧵

We couldn't say it better
Google Chrome will block uBlock Origin.
Which means, all Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, etc.) will eventually block it too.
If you care about this, and you care about privacy, just switch to @firefox. For an average user, that's the best choice currently.
