I remember the junkbuster proxy from before this stuff was done with browser extensions. Is it time for that approach to make a comeback?
No, it's time for people to finally get their asses in gear and fucking ditch Chromium-based browsers for Firefox-based ones.
Google owns Mozilla and have been slowly getting their greedy fingers in there and they have been changing it to suit their purposes.
Mozilla has been resisting, but it's only a matter of time.
I'm going to need verifiable proof of this.
Mozilla is funded by Google. Not sure about them owning it, but they do give Mozilla money
Google provide funding in return for Mozilla making Google the default search engine under FF, which is in itself is nothing like Chromium which is almost entirely developed and maintained by Google.
