That's pretty irrelevant isn't it? Shouldn't all users demand privacy, especially from ads?

All users should demand privacy, but they don’t.

Take a look at Firefox’s market share, or Brave’s etc.

Won’t Brave follow Google’s lead on this?

Gecko, WebKit and—hopefully—Ladybird are the true alternatives. I used to think this was too extreme. But the ad vendor dragging ad blockers out of the engine flipped my view.

Brave has its own ad blocker engine built-in rather than as an extension, and it can reuse uBlock's lists

I use brave on my phone and I can't really tell the difference from desktop browser+UO, so I guess it works well enough.

Brave, like Vivaldi, I think, have developed their own ad blocker.

No idea if they will fight to keep UBlock Origin accessible or not.

I think and certainly hope that Helium will fight the good fight.

They said they could offer limited MV2 support even after it’s fully removed from the upstream Chromium codebase.[1]
