Browsers using Chromium kernel are not affected when Google disables ad blocking utilities
Recently, Google has announced that only premium users can use ad blocking utilities on Google Ads and Chromium core browsers. So, how will this affect browsers that use Chromium kernel?
Web browsers such as Vivaldi, Opera, Brave or Microsoft Edge Chromium browser . will certainly be affected when Google brings its V3 Manifest API to Chromium core.
However, API Manifest V3 only disables ad blocking of extensions (extensions), so browsers with built-in ad blocking feature will not be affected.
Here are some browsers that will not be affected by Google API for Chromium kernel.
Brave and Opera
The two browsers have ad blocking feature by default so users can safely use it without worrying about being affected by Google's API.
To disable the new API, third-party browser developers using Chromium kernel can change the code in the browser.
Vivaldi
This is a browser using Chromium core which is combined from Opera and Google Chrome. Although Vivaldi does not include the default ad blocker, developers will restore the old API or open a new store similar to Google Chrome Store. This means that ad blocking utilities can still work on this browser.
Microsoft Edge Chromium
This new web browser is considered a new rival of Google Chrome also uses Chromium kernel. According to Microsoft's announcement, Edge Chromium has a separate store, so it is not affected too much by Google's API.
