[Mental Outlaw] The End of Ad Blockers In Chrome
Please consider helping a friend by helping them migrate off of Chrome and towards something like:
Google's beginning to roll out the deprecation of Manifest V2 extensions which includes ad blockers. Extensions are still manually installable but the process is no longer accessible for non-power users.
In addition to the continued enshitification of Chrome it seems that Google is also kneecapping people's privacy and security:

Isn't Falkon pretty much dead?
Surprisingly Falkon's still receiving updates and is still in active development as indicated by their Project Repo
About the releases
Falkon is a part of KDE Applications and KDE Gear, which are released typically 3 times a year en-masse
I like Zen browser
Also possibly Fennec for mobile. It's Firefox based but cleaned up like Librewolf.
That and Brave & Vivaldi have built in adblock that allows them to keep MV2 era adblocking despite being Chromium based.
