Yes, but built in adblocker like opera so it's unaffected

nah i'd not trust that, if chromium itself gets invaded by forced ads no chromium based browser is safe

Are you talking about manifest v3 or something else? Cause manifest v3 doesn't force ads, it just cripples third party ad blockers. Also viv, (and some others, like brave) already disable plenty of Google stuff like FloC and privacy sandbox

Well yea it's the same thing to me. The built in browser adblocker is great but never fast enough to block google's (and especially youtube's) bullshit attempts at trying to shove ads into our faces
