I found I was only able to register, and login, after I used Firefox (and verified my email to login). Glad I checked here to see it was more Chrome related.
and this is not just you using a billion blocklists?
Using all those blocklists is still a whole lot faster than the increased load times from loading ads.
I actually deleted my google account yesterday. Felt so good. I'm finally free.

Me: Oh no, what will i do! Absolutely fuck all
uBlock and uMatrix make the web much nicer to use. As others have said Firefox is pretty nice too if Google insists on taking away ad blocking.
Here's another reply for "this is why you Firefox."
More people finding out every day that big tech is your enemy and should be treated as such.
I use both Firefox and Opera (Opera One & Opera GX)
I use Opera is because of its AI, Aria. and I like it. unlike Bing AI ofc......
