Could you remind me how to use 4chanX and uBlock again? Internet without uBlock is suffering.

On my desktop we did it a few months ago messing with the chrome://flags
But can't seem to make it happen again.
My desktop has operational uBlock and 4chanX.

Anon, if you want to stick to Chromium, just install Brave or Vivaldi and import your bookmarks (and whatever else you can/want). They still support Manifest V2 extensions (including uBlock Origin and probably 4chanX). You could switch to Firefox, but you're not forced to.
Also, you could try 4chanXT. It's a userscript for Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey. Just pick one (Violentmonkey is open source, but otherwise they're pretty much identical). Other than that, it works like any other extension. It's no longer maintained afaik, but it still works fine for me at least. Just make sure to install the correct version:

I want something that feels 'native/straightforward'.
I will look into Firefox vs Brave.

Fuck it, I will get Brave and be done. It will be good for a change.
I have Opera on the phone because it allows me to rename files on download.
And I use Samsung on the Galaxy tablet. Surprisingly legit browsing experience for the tablet.

Trust me, it's very straightforward. 4chanXT is very similar to 4chanX. It's basically the same thing with added features. And installing it is as simple as installing any monkey extension and then clicking the install button on the Greasyfork page. The default settings work fine. It is fun to tinker with, we've had entire threads dedicated to adding custom CSS to it and stuff like that.
Also, you should always have a backup browser. I prefer Firefox, but these days 4chan might rangeban you just for posting from Firefox in incognito mode.

Techlet retard, how is a script not straightforward? You either copy the code or click the install button. How is it less "native" than extensions? Why does "nativity" even matter when the software does its job? What you're saying doesn't make a lick of sense.

Some anons said they ran into captcha visibility issues or something like that. I haven't noticed anything though, it might be theme related.

My issue is installing Monkeygrease and all these external script things. It starts to make things complicated.
Why does /g/ hate Brave? Is it because they hate everything Chrome in general?
>>
>>108625347
I am getting old and can't be bothered nowadays. I just want out of the box, ready solutions if I can. Like Brave says it has its own uBlock build in. That's cool.
Even if installing uBlock is one click.

You're overthinking it, they're only as complicated as you want them to be. The default settings work fine and it's just one extra click. And there are other useful userscripts that are not available as standalone extensions, so it pays to get used to monkey addons.
>Why does /g/ hate Brave? Is it because they hate everything Chrome in general?
Mostly because it gets spammed on here a lot. And because it's a bit bloated with optional stuff like crypto and premium AI and VPN services. But you can just ignore that stuff and use it like a regular browser and it does the job fine.

i finally switched to firefox when the first chrome manifest workaround got blocked and it was pretty obvious i'd have to leave eventually.
even after getting used to firefox it's pretty clear that chrome is objectively the superior browser outside of their attempts at killing adblock. it's a shame how much it bootyblasts firefox

Unless I missed one the first one was the one that's still working. --enable-features=AllowLegacyMV2Extensions --disable-features=ExtensionManifes tV2DeprecationWarning,ExtensionMani festV2Disabled,ExtensionManifestV2U nsupported
I have the latest version of uBO, on the latest version of Chrome, from and working auto updates from the Chrome Web Store. We're going on 9 years of "uBO won't work on Chrome in 2 more weeks"
