Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

    What makes you say this? Brave is my primary and doesn’t need uBlock to effectively block ads

      My comment is specifically around v2 Manifest support for addons. uBlock Origin requires v2 manifest. If you’re fine without it, you can’t ignore all of this discussion. However, uBlock Origin can block more than ads.

        Yeah I will probably need to switch over to firefox if Brave is gonna break. Are the blockers in Brave V2 do you know?
