And if you use other ones like the excellent uBlock Origin and uMatrix ad blockers, well I’ve got some bad news for you. It turns out that Google reportedly pays it to whitelist (opens in new tab) all its online advertising, defeating the purpose of even having it since Google will still track you through the browser.

The first is that, if your ad-blocking extension of choice happens to be Adblock Plus, don’t even bother. Adblock is actually useful, and it won’t breakĭespite Google Chrome having extensions that block ads and advertisement tracking in general, there are two reasons why it’s rendered meaningless.

It’s the feature that I originally left Firefox for Chrome over and one of the main features that had me coming back. In my opinion, this is especially handy for transferring over tabs from your mobile browser to a desktop one. Syncing tabs is exactly as it sounds, with tabs from all your devices logged in the same Firefox profile available to open on your current device.
