While I was reading this I had an update and Chrome turned off uBlock origin and bypass paywalls. I was able to to go to manage extensions and turn them on but I guess if that stops working it's on to Firefox.

By the way does anyone know if you can just turn off updates on Chrome and have it keep working in its present state?

It will stop working. Why not get ahead of the curve and move to Firefox now?

I quite like Chrome but I have both open on the laptop so I guess it's not a huge deal.

I fear it will become a huge deal. At some point, Google and/or cloudflare might decide that Firefox is not allowed. This decision becomes harder to make the more people are using Firefox.

In a way, every time a Firefox user-agent string is logged it is a sort of vote for a more open web.
