Xitter doesn't load for me but this is quoting Brave so I'm not so sure about that
(edit: Though I think Brave has a builtin adblocker so you may not even need it. However, just don't use Chromium anything at all)
xcancel.com still works... for now.
Further down the article it says "Brave has a number of feature gaps compared to uBlock Origin, resulting in worse effectiveness as well." It's hard to beat uBO.
I believe Brave’s ad blocker is based on uBlock.
nope, it's made from scratch in rust
You're right, I found it here. I thought it was based on uBlock because there's a UI somewhere in Brave for ad blocking that is suspiciously close to uBlock's UI for blocking specific elements on a site.
there's also a phyton library that lets you use brave's adblocker on other browsers like qutebrowser
oh, thx for saying. i also thought it was based on ublock, though im not sure where i got that information from
