The app Cookie I mentioned to you in the other thread also works with Chrome.
It does? Well, that's nice to hear. I assumed that most cookie or adblocking apps wouldn't work with chrome because chrome is made by a company that relies an ad revenue.

They have started restricting what types of ads can be blocked by adblockers. As an example if you install Ublock Origin you also need to install an extension app to block everything. It was one of the main things that pushed me over to Brave.
