Google just blocked my ad-block plugins.

Do you mean you cannot install them? What browser are you using?

Yeah, it's not like you'd be giving up a search engine that actually works - no such thing in [CURRENT YEAR]. And for everything else there are equal or superior options, some free and/or self-hostable with little effort.

Sorry, i should have specified google chrome. Not google search.   

I worked around it, and enabled YT blocking in another, but wonder how long before they declare that one bad and yank it too.

Yeah, no good search engines and no good web browsers.

I forget where the discussion was about Tucker Carlson and whether he was visible on Rumble, but if you go to https://rumble.com/c/TuckerCarlsonOfficial now, you get "410 - Gone". Same for TuckerCarlsonTonight. The account "TuckerCarlsonTonightTheFiveJesseWattersPrimetimeGutfeldUnfilteredwithDanBongino" doesn't look very legit, especially with that ugly AI-looking profile picture.

PS: Sorry for ruining the fact that as I post this, Google Overlords has 666 messages. Although Ig might have hardcoded that just for fun.

Grrrr

Guess i'm done with chrome.  They are blocking and removing one by one any ad blocker from the store.

Is there a 3rd party store for chrome plugins like there is for android apps that they dont like?  Not searched for one yet just thought id ask.

OH and they just killed off zlibrary link finder

Grrrrrr
