Respects Your Privacy

Chrome Broke Ad Blocking.
We Fixed It.
When Google deprecated Manifest V2, they crippled every ad blocker on Chrome β limiting filter rules to just 300,000. Taps.im Privacy Browser keeps full MV2 support with unlimited rules and the complete webRequest blocking API.
Chrome (MV3)
Since June 2025
- 300,000 rule limit
declarativeNetRequest caps filter rules β ad blockers can't cover everything
- No webRequest blocking
Extensions can no longer intercept and block requests in real-time
- Service Worker timeouts
Background pages die after 5 minutes β filters can't stay active
- Compromised ad blocking
uBlock Origin Lite is a shadow of the original β missing critical features
