I've been on Firefox since I left Internet Explorer many years ago. But, recently, I switched to LibreWolf, and I've been checking out Pale Moon. Pale Moon is close to doing everything I want, but not quite there.

I stayed away from Chrome alternatives, as it had the best Canvas/HTML5 performance (Which oddly enough, was quite important for most of my browsing needs). However, this news means I will have to switch. Installed Firefox for my primary browsing needs, and a few Chromium-based ones to try out for specifically the aforementioned use case.

Doesn't cover 100% of what uBO did, but it still works just as good IMO with DNS based ad-blocking on top.

Are you sure?
In Brave browser it's all nice and dandy.
Going to guess that’s based on your region rather than your browser
Everyone should ditch chrome
My fucking organization refuses to support anything but Chrome. I hate it so much.

That’s fine. Google can go fuck themselves
Have never used Chrome. Firefox is very good. I had 5-6 years when I preferred Opera, but since 2014, I've been using Firefox exclusively.
looks like you dropped opera about the same time it rebased to blink (chromium) from their own web engine, presto.
It’s funny how things work out. I had a Chromebook that couldn’t have Firefox installed. I heard that Chrome would remove ubo, my Chromebook died the following month. So I got a cheap laptop instead. The problem solved itself.
Use firefox
And if you don't like Firefox, use one of the Firefox forks. Some of them are very Chrome-like.
