Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update

I don't "bypass" Chrome when they want to melt my brain with their business model, I use Firefox. I don't "bypass" Windows when they want to melt my brain with their business model, I use Linux. No idea why so many "hackers" doing "bypasses" can't instead take action that is simpler, long lasting, and easier. Do people need to jerked around 50 times for 20 years before realizing it will keep happening and their "bypasses" are just temporary bandaids?

> use Linux

except that for a majority of users, windows is where their applications are at - such as gaming, word processing, or some other thing. Sure there are replacements (somewhat) for each of those categories, but they are not direct replacements, and require a cost of some kind (retraining, or a substitute quality). This is esp. true for gaming, and it's only recent that gaming has made some inroads via the steam deck (steamOS), which isn't available to a general PC (only handheld PCs with AMD processors iirc).

People who say "just switch" to linux hasn't done it for their family/friends.

I disagree that that's the majority of users.

The majority of users either use only web applications, or web applications and Microsoft Office.

The true majority of users are on mobile.

Windows is only unreplaceable for gamers. Which is fine, because Windows is a toy anyway.
