Hello, i put my new discover in new issue and may be it wil be good idea to integrate this advice in FAQ for the benefit of all users , thank you :)

So my discover is in chromium browser in woolyss site, we can even install directly the crx extensions more easily outside the web store, let's note an interesting and strange thing, I personally did several tests and comparisons with brave, opera, ungoogled chromium, ecosia browsers... .

these browsers seem incapable of blocking heavy ads and cannot activate the native function of heavy ad blocking and anti crypto currency mining useful especially after the transition to manifest v3 and the ad blockers will become less powerful, probably blocking heavy ads does not work on these web browsers because they block Google services, except chromium browser can block heavy ads, with edge browser....

so unfortunately this takes away a lot of the interest and relevance of other browsers based on chromium:

I also tested with Firefox and Firefox forks like Mercury Browser, Ghostery Browser, Librewolf.... and we can easily install extensions outside the Firefox store by activating these flags:

install extension addon outside firefox store about:config xpinstall.signatures.required false extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled false

May be our beloved extension should advise users to use pure chromium browser of woolyss site to avoid store censorship and problem installation to be able to use this magnificent extension without restrictions !
