Reminder to Google Chrome users: uBlock AdBlocker still works on Firefox, reducing Google's ad revenue

Google has recently decided to more effectively monetize its Chrome user base by restricting the functionality of ad-blocking Chrome extensions, particularly uBlock Origin.

Remember, on the internet, if you’re not paying for a service, you’re likely the product. Online ads are how Google generates the majority of its revenue (and pays for donations to Trump's inauguration attended by their CEO Sundar Pichai).

One way to reduce Google’s ad revenue is by switching to Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension enabled.
