Some browsers like Google Chrome and Safari actively prevent you from using the best tracking protections out there, and we typically recommend switching to a better browser. If you don't want to or can't though, you can usually still install uBlock [โ€ฆ]

uBlock Origin Lite, a content blocker for other browsers, that's less effective than uBlock Origin.
