Biggest takeaway from this is that Google has finally gotten around to blocking uBlock Origin...and, unsurprisingly, Brave & Vivaldi being built on top of Chromium will merely follow in lock step.
More specifically, they say Vivaldi has committed to that future reality (2025) while Brave has been ambiguous. Brave would make a more forceful statement if they planned to be different.
There is time yet, but soon the moment to permanently switch to the various FireFox forks: Pale Moon, WaterFox, whatever. Maybe even FireFox itself, if you don't mind the super woke Mozilla organization (no thanks from me).
Shame, Brave is a very clean Chromium browser and much easier to teach my parents to use -- otherwise they'd be on Chrome. Brave's loss will be felt; "uBO" Lite is not an option.
Wait till you see the AI section. The propaganda section is big, but I haven't covered every little thing.
I'm hoping the adblock browser will still do its thing.
