    I’m yet to see any ad since I’ve started using Brave. Din know about YouTube, I don’t use it.

      Why would you want to use some Google-coded, bigoted-ceo, crypto-pushing, link hijacking POS like Brave?

          Brave adblock is just a fork of uBlock with a whitelist for Brave’s partners.

              That’s fine but you should understand that you shouldn’t endorse an inferior product just because you don’t need anything better

                I’ll endorse whatever I feel like. And… Inferior? Lol. Just looking at the retard UI of Firefox is enough for me (p.s., I’ve been a FF user for almost 20 year, since it still was Phoenix).

                By the way, I’d be curious to know what would happen to FF if somewhat uBlock Origin disappeared. Equivalently, the only thing keeping FF alive (apart from sweet Google’s money) is the existence of uBlock Origin, i.e. an independent extension created and maintained by volunteers. I’m pretty sure that the day uBO dies, is the day FF disappears

                    • I won’t bother thinkering with CSS which break with updates
                    • Users shouldn’t be in charge to fix Mozilla’s fuckups. That’s how you loose 70M users since 2019
                    • The only semi-valid reason people often give to use FF is uBlock Origin. I wonder how many of these FF loyal users would still stay on FF, should uBlock Origin disappear. Would you? At this point, it looks like FF is just an extension for uBO, rather than the opposite.
                    • Last but not least, for a lot of reasons, I’ve grown increasingly pissed off with Mozilla, so I simply refuse to give then more underserved market share (after being a user/supporter/advocate for almost 20 years).
