Brave is currently shitting the bed on me in what I fear is not an April Fool's joke, so I'm soliciting opinions. What browsers are you all using? What do you trust to not spy on you? Which browsers aren't thoroughly infected with ideological rot?
Obviously Google Chrome is a poisoned well, but are there any out there that pass muster?
How is Waterfox on the adblocking front? You mention that you switched right as YouTube started making that harder, so I'm curious to know if there's any appreciable difference in adblock on that vs Brave's built in adblock.
Are you using uBlock Origin? I haven't had any issues with YouTube since the early days of their war against ad blockers with that extension enabled.
I stopped using ABP when I realized it wasn't blocking things that UBO was out of the box. I also distrust their willingness to work with Google since the ads are only the most visible part of the problem. I'd recommend using UBO if can get it on your browser. It runs lighter and it's made YouTube's war on ad blockers a thing of the past for me. I didn't realize it was still going on if I'm being honest.
