I still use Ublock Origin

With google implementing MV3, Alot of useful extensions that rely on MV2 will no longer work

I use brave browser simply for the extensions I use personally

I only paid $30 for a lifetime licence & feel it's already worth it for the overall experience

Gabe Newell said it best

"Piracy is almost always a service problem & not a pricing issue"

Though today, It's definitely a pricing issue with streaming companies getting super greedy

It's not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking

Netflix & all these streaming platforms have completely lost touch & they will lose more customers in the long run

To quote Gabe Newell on Piracy

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable."
