Even if bigs exists to work around what Google is doing, that isn’t the right way forward. If people don’t agree with Google move, the only correct course of action is to ditch Chrome (and all Chromium browsers). Hit them where it hurts and take away their monopoly over the future direction of the web.

PROXOMITRON!

Local proxy filter that is like a Pi-hole, but locally!

It's OLD, and became obsolete when browser plugins were invented, but now more relevant than ever!

Because it's between the server and the client - it can do what it wants!

Wow, that brings me back. I used to use Proxomitron before plugin ad blockers were a thing.
