Sometimes, rather than trying to clean your computer, it's easier to just burn the whole thing to the ground. I did that recently when I factory re...

Don't use AdBlock. The unobtrusive ads program is pay-for-play. Use uBlock Origin instead; it's available for Chrome, and it ships with an anti-anti-adblock list by default.
I would also consider testing latest Firefox. Firefox is not driven by data-collection as google (the entities that is), so they are more on the "anti-ad" side.
Latest versions even include a by-default adblocker and ghostery-like functionality.
Also, firefox have a small in-browser IDE which is (maybe not that useful for all of us) a cool thing! ;)
Thanks for the heads-up! I'll check out uBlock Origin!
Or even better to use Brave browser it is secure and includes adblocker out of the box.
Brave is also adopting a pay-for-play ad blocking model. Not a very good alternative.
Quick tips -
It's okay to lose your data. But losing your privacy is a whole different story.
"Don't use Chrome" is an interesting suggestion. If you are a front-end dev you may be doing yourself and your users a disservice to not test on Chrome. Dev tools are also amazing.
Solution could be developing on Chrome and using Firefox for everything else? Just some personal thoughts as we all grapple with privacy/convenience trade offs.
I personally like the dev tools in FireFox Developer Edition better. Chrome's dev tools are more powerful when it comes to profiling and performance optimization but FireFox dev tools are amazing for layouts and piecing things together. I use them both at times based on what I'm building but tend to align towards FF dev tools more. Nevertheless, whenever I use Chrome, I make sure I'm not logged in and quit the browser immediately after use.
Also, I'm usually least bothered about making sure things work fine in Chrome. Chrome is way ahead of the curve and nothing ever breaks in Chrome. Google is investing so much money to build the perfect, future-proof browser and giving it away for free. Things like this scare me the most.

As our glorious leader @ben says:
"Privacy is a relic of the past."
When it comes to browser testing there are a whole lot of possible ways to go. One is to use a SaaS way, like browserstack or similar, to test in a multitude of browsers, another could be to use a couple of virtual machines on which you install different versions of browsers.
Microsoft (for example) provide virtual machine images for new and old versions of windows including different versions of browsers (IE/edge mainly I think), so that could be worth checking out!
Why use SDKMAN and jenv? The whole idea of both is to simplify management, and SDKMAN's functionality is (mostly?) a superset of jenv's, so... why complicate things by using both?
Maybe one exists, but I haven't yet found a way to quickly and easily switch between Java versions with SDKMAN. With jenv, it's as easy as:
I too had this quandary of loving the ease of use with jenv, but wanted sdkman for ease of installing multiple different jdk's, in addition to all the other supported tools, gradle, groovy, scala, etc.. I finally looked into the issue of switching environments easily and noticed the command 'sdk env'. From there I found this excellent write up on using it on blog.mrhaki.com

Don't use Chrome, use Brave Browser or even better Firefox.
