I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn't evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother's high score. Good memories.

I wouldn't be very happy if my browser injected ads into webpages.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

It does that? I use Edge with ublock origin and have zero issues.

[-] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

uBlock origin might be able to block Edge's embedded ads, but yes, Edge does that. For example, if you go to the page to download Google Chrome, a banner ad covers the top half of your screen that advertises Edge's features.

Even if uBlock fixes this, I don't know why anyone would want to use a browser that does this in the first place when better Chromium based browsers exist, especially Brave. (I prefer Firefox, but I understand the need to use Chromium instead of Gecko as webpages are generally slightly more reliable).

Brave and their crypto bs? I wouldn’t touch them.

In no way to you have to enable that you know. Unlike edge it doesn't default to on for monetization

Brave hate over their crypto is super overblown. I don't, and obviously never would, use any of those features; so I just turn them off. There are a lot of annoying Firefox defaults as well, albeit not as garbage as Brave's crypto.

I think its stupid to write off brave because of these optional features, when it is the best Chromium based browser available otherwise.

Google search does the same thing of you search for mozilla firefox.. lol

True, but thats a search engine. They inject ads into every search, your web browser has no business doing that.
