Xitter doesn’t load for me but this is quoting Brave so I’m not so sure about that
(edit: Though I think Brave has a builtin adblocker so you may not even need it. However, just don’t use Chromium anything at all)
xcancel.com still works… for now.
Further down the article it says “Brave has a number of feature gaps compared to uBlock Origin, resulting in worse effectiveness as well.” It’s hard to beat uBO.

I believe Brave’s ad blocker is based on uBlock.
nope, it’s made from scratch in rust
You’re right, I found it here. I thought it was based on uBlock because there’s a UI somewhere in Brave for ad blocking that is suspiciously close to uBlock’s UI for blocking specific elements on a site.
there’s also a phyton library that lets you use brave’s adblocker on other browsers like qutebrowser
oh, thx for saying. i also thought it was based on ublock, though im not sure where i got that information from
I think people pushing the Brave browser are partially incentivized to do so by the cryptocurrency.
yeah the only point it has thats actually interesting is crypto, though for anyone who doesnt care about it will probably not like the browser (seriously what does it have that others dont?)
Wasn’t Brave doing some shady stuff a while back?
