    Nope. Many Chromium forks already have very good inbuilt adblockers , which won’t be affected by the MV3 stuff. On top of that, one could also use system-wide blockers such as AdGuard and DNS-level blockers (which is not even a bad idea if you’re on Windows anyway).

      You can continue to cope or you can upgrade to a real browser.

            Yeah, no. Too much disregard for the community and useless political crap, apart from hypocrisy on their fake anti-Google stance.

            If anything, they’re worse.

            1. Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
            2. They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
            3. They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
            4. They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
            5. Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.

            I could go on.

              Don’t forget the worst most condescending people working for Brave. I actually had one of their people antagonize me on social media years ago for not liking their invasive homepage at the time.

                And also don’t forget Gab forked out Brave to create Dissenter.

              So like very other ad company.

              Forcing over people and companies into their system.

              [citation needed]

              1. The crypto stuff is opt-in.
              2. [citation needed] I’m talking about the legal action stuff. Fun fact, Gab made a Brave fork called Dissenter. Nothing happened to them.
              3. Yeah, Brave VPN is BS.
              4. About Brendan Eich, I can’t see nothing about his beliefs reflecting in his work. Looks like he kept them separated. Also he’s a co-founder of Mozilla. So if you’re not going to use Brave because of him. How can you use Firefox? About Brave lobbying against things like same-sex marriage. Will, [citation needed].

              If you need Chromium browser. Just use ungoogled-chromium, Windows version.

      System wide ad blockers can’t block a lot of ads, namely same-domain ads or those that are built into the html. Much rarer than the external page kind (DNS ones) thankfully.

      As far as I know most inbuilt adblockers, don’t work very well. Especially with yt. Everytime yt does something, you would probably have to wait for new version of your browser, and even then it is questionable if it would work. With ublock origin you just click on one button and you are good to go. If somebody doesn’t know, I’m talking about refreshing your filters.

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

                  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

      Yeah surel, I’ll use the inadequate browser but fox the problems with system wide ad blockers, instead of just using a browser, that doesn’t steal my data and let’s me install addons that I want. Google is way out of bounds here imho.

        Use whatever suits you. I’m just saying that people already using browsers with a built-in AdBlock aren’t going to switch, because they won’t even notice the MV3 stuff.

          Aren’t all those ad blockers and distribution platforms too? Heard about ABP that sell ad space for example.

            IIRC, ABP used to whiteliste some “acceptable” ads (non invasive, etc…). Frankly, it’s been literally ages since I have used it, so I don’t know how they behave right now. I was referring to AdGuard as a system-wide adblocker, though, which is a completely different story.

        As long as these browsers themselves exist. Inbuilt adblockers aren’t extension, are integral parts of the browsers, and don’t need to follow extensions’ rules.
