What may be the finest VPN substitute?
I think what you may be looking for is alternative privacy options. I would highly suggest you download the web browser https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/windows/ Install the addons, https://privacybadger.org/ https://ublockorigin.com/ Make sure to enable https only mode in Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-only-prefs Then use a privacy oriented search engine like, https://duckduckgo.com/ Or, https://www.startpage.com/ And change your DNS to either, https://www.opendns.com/setupguide/ Or, https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/

sounds like a win for me
More intense script and tracker blocker. https://privacybadger.org/ You know that thing when you are talking about something and then you'll see ads for it plastered everywhere, that kind of multi site tracking... Even know the ad is already blocked by ublock, I like to block the scripts too.

adblockers don't always block the trackers. I use adblocker + privacy badger.
If you want to search for things related to camping, but you don’t want people to know you’re camping use a VPN, open Firefox in incognito mode, and search with Duck Duck Go. Also EFF has a browser plug-in called Privacy Badger I recommend.

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
If ads, in particular on YouTube, are the problem, anything Chromium-based is probably only going to get worse and worse (see [1] and [2]). So that basically leaves you with Firefox and Safari.
I work for Mozilla (speaking for myself, of course), so I'll leave you to guess which I'd recommend :P

What are the compelling advantages of Chrome nowadays?
Chrome is working to limit the capabilities of ad blockers:
https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2023/11/chrome-pushes...
Whereas a compelling advantage of Firefox is that uBlock Origin works best in Firefox:

Advertising networks have often been vectors for malware. Using an ad blocker is an important security measure. Even the FBI recommends ad blockers:

Brave Leo now uses Mixtral 8x7B as default
> It allows for 30,000 dynamic rules
That is not what we mean by dynamic filters. From https://developer.chrome.com/blog/improvements-to-content-fi...
> However, to support more frequent updates and user-defined rules, extensions can add rules dynamically too, without their developers having to upload a new version of the extension to the Chrome Web Store.
What Chrome is talking about is the ability to specify rules at runtime. What critics of Manifest V3 are talking about is not the ability to dynamically add rules (although that can be an issue), it is the ability to add dynamic rules -- ie rules that analyze and rewrite requests in the style of the blockingWebRequest permission.
It's a little deceptive to claim that the concerns here are outdated and to point to vague terminology that sounds like it's correcting the problem, but on actual inspection turns out to be entirely separate functionality from what the GP was talking about.
> Giving this ability to extensions can slow down the browser for the user. These ads can still be blocked through other means.
This is the debate; most of the adblocking community disagrees with this assertion. uBO maintains a list of some common features that are already not possible to support in Chrome ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... ) and has written about features that are not able to be supported via Chrome's current V3 API ( https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as... ). Of particular note are filtering for large media elements (I use this a lot on mobile Firefox, it's great for reducing page size), and top-level filtering of domains/fonts.

> "Its happened before"
> That's not an argument
It's a subheading to "2. Browser engine monopoly". The subsection's purpose is describing how bad things were during the IE monopoly to reinforce that it's something to be avoided.
> in fact you could counter-argue that IE left a lot of technical debt
That would be agreeing with the article, unless I understand what you mean.
> On top of that, the internet was very different back then.
In a way that now makes it harder for truly new competing engines to pop up due to increased complexity of the web.
> I'm still not convinced, why would I change my browser?
The points made in the article are:
* Increased privacy, opposed to willingly giving your data to an ad-tech company
* Helps avoid a browser engine monopoly which would effectively let Google dictate web standards
* It’s fast and has a nice user interface
Onto which I'd add:
* Content blockers work best on Firefox (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...), doubly so when Manifest V3 rolls out
* Allows more customization of interface and home page
* UX improvements, like the clutter-free reader mode, aren't vetoed to protect search revenue as with Chrome (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37675467)

How Many Lines of C It Takes to Execute a and B in Python?
If you have no knowledge you can still make use of element picker in the context menu. In this case though the problematic element will have a generated class name like `frontend-components-SubscribePrompt-`, so I resorted to the CSS syntax (`##`). There are a lot, a freaking lot of them [1] but the CSS syntax alone can achieve a lot.
