100% agree. I don't mind ads as long as I get to choose whether the audio/video plays or not.

I was an avid FF user but since I moved to linux over a year ago I am finding Chromium really much better especially love how even when I do boot to windows my browsing remembers everything from when on linux and vice versa

I binned Chrome a few weeks ago as many people have, Brave is now my browser. You can block all ads on it if you choose.
