We’ve been anticipating it for years,1 and it’s finally happening. Google is finally killing uBlock Origin – with a note on their web store stating that the …
This article has some misinformation in places. Like it claims Vivaldi’s ad-blocker cannot be investigated further because the project is closed source, but the only closed source part of Vivaldi is the UI (approximately 5% of the total code). The ad-blocker C++ code is published along with the other 95% of the browser’s code.
WaterFox!
uBlock may have enough support to start their own maintained fork, and be the upstream for all the other quiet browsers. That dude is like THE ONE GUY that makes chromium sane, and doesn’t even take donations?!
What pisses me off is seeing more and more “You need to upgrade your browser for this site!” when using Firefox.
Having to use a spoof header gets frustrating frequently too.
I love how they gave a TL;DR right at the beginning of the article, it made me stay and read the rest out of respect for the author.
Google lives of the ads (among the things), of course a browser they develop is going to screw the add-ons that block ads. Solution: avoid google if you want an ad-free internet.
Edit: typo
You want free and private internet - Ok You don’t want ads - Ok So who is going to give you something for free and why?
If you’ve got no purpose hosting a website, don’t. We don’t need you.
Funny as the internet was designed as being free.
Maybe just educate yourself a little. In general, not just about that.
Ok So who is going to give you something for free and why?
People who value the ability to do publish information, or engage in personal expression, for starters.
FOSS Communities:
I knew it will be downvoted, but you have to realize, nothing is free in this world kids, I don’t like it too, but it is what it is.
This world is what ever we make it, and literally everything we need to live is free, from water to food to shelter. The earth literally just does all that.
limp dick attitude is how we got here… good job champ
disgusting bootlicking
nothing is free
Plenty of things can be and are free at the point of service/point of consumption/utilization.
That’s all they need to be. And they’re just has to be enough willpower to do that from enough people.
Ok boomer
*zoomer
Bro’s paying for grep.
Brave: 😎
Brave also uses chromium.
Brave is the offspring of “libertarian” (sociopathic authoritarian billionaire supporting JD Vance) Peter Thiel.

Thiel, among other things, founded palantir, facial recognition software used by police worldwide.
https://www.palantir.com/platforms/
He hates the western world. Hates democracy.
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/11/donald-trump-steve-bannon-peter-thiel-214490/
Openly states his plans to destroy the economy and implement a crypto financial system.
And, this is true, he’s the current president of the bilderberg group.

He is not your friend.
He should never be trusted.
Brave is not the private browser you think it is.
By supporting brave you are supporting an authoritarian technocratic state.
Which lines of its libre software source code are malicous?
Which line of chrome is malicious?
Jfc.
Here’s a cherry, now you don’t have to pick any.
Google Chrome is not libre software.
Which is chromium. The article is specifically talking about chromium based browsers and how you’ll lose access too.
Before Brave better use https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
