How’s it hidden? You to to the default app settings…
Or just install another browser and they’ll walk you through it.
I find Windows way more egregious, it will allow you to set it but not really, half of anything you do will open edge and then they’ll occasionally reset your default browser with bugger updates.
I think it would still detect you’re ad blocking. What you’re describing isn’t much different than how Brave blocks ads on a browser level. Usually the way they detect ad blocking is they put some piece of information or key in the ads themselves and ask the browser for that key. If it doesn’t have it, because the ad is blocked, they can assume you’re running an ad blocker. Pi hole not even letting it hit your computer would trigger that.
Idk how the new ads 2.0 system works for chrome though. Sounds like a kernel level ad-key check. Which would be even more reliable for them I assume.
Probably going to work. Just another company trying to wring money from their user base since they can’t reasonably grow. So many people were like “oh I’m cancelling Netflix if I can’t share it” and then it was record sign ups for them and overall more money.
They are doing this right before The Boys comes back on and somewhat during Invincibles part 2 airing. People will be annoyed and pay the upcharge.
And like me pirating those still won’t change much since I already was.
