I've tried helium as a chrome-based ad-blocking browser alternative and found it nice to not have to hide the crypto/AI-nonsense since it doesn't exist. Everything beyond the Crypto/AI stuff is indeed pretty damn good in Brave.

At the end of the day it's basically just a uBlock-Origin preset for chromium, but that's really all I'd want from Brave regardless.

You might like Brave Origin then. If hidable crypto integration is what keeps Brave free, I am personally content with it.

I haven't heard of it before, and the crypto ads was the reason I lost interest for Brave. I will have a look, thanks!

Huh, that does look nice. Its been a long time since I used Brave last. Does it do anything beyond ad-blocking over chrome? If not I don't think I can be be bothered to switch from one ad-blocking chrome to another, just to due inertia and my lazyness.

		Still needing some work (part 2 coming) but Brave has Containers support. https://brave.com/blog/containers/ https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/55380

		Not phoning home, vertical tabs and peak new tab aesthetic is what got me in.
