    Tbh I’m not sick of ads. I’m sick of video ads. More and more ublock doesn’t block video ads but blocks all else. I don’t mind anything but video ads over my videos and popup ads.

      Both (all) ads are bad though. I would rather have none of them while surfing the web. NextDNS and uBlock has been such a friend over the years for me regarding that 🥰

            Makes sense and ironically it’s the only one which bothers me. I keep getting ads to join the police and buy a car. Practically nothing else. I see ads because I don’t have the money to buy tier without ads. How can I afford a car in their opinion? I don’t even speak the local language, how may I join the police? I wish trackers actually gave you relevant ads. They spy on you for no customer related reason. I only like sidebar ads reminding me of clothes I’ve browsed because sometimes I change my mind.

    They should’ve done what they did with the YouTube ads and told the user to block this ad using their browser as well.

    No idea why people use and recommend Brave when Firefox exists. It’s full of crypto and other unnecessary add-ons out of the box.

      Firefox still doesn’t have vertical tabs which I’ve found really useful for my workflow right now, so I use a fork called Pulse. Don’t want to use any extensions for it when Pulse and other forks do it natively.

        There’s a million add-ons that add this, isn’t there? I have one installed at home that basically makes it into what arc has

          Probably, but between the disabling of userChrome.css (even if you can enable it via about:config) and a possible conflict between other addons I use, I’m comfy with my Pulse setup.

          All of that Firefox has its equivalents as well as some of that being untrue as they’re search engines not websites etc

            Brave has adware and bloat preinstalled, firefox doesn’t even have something similar to this.

                Why are you gaslighting so hard. Just lookup what adware is. It has literally preinstalled crypto marketing widget that you need to disable or smth and also provide a opt-in ads for crypto solution that has opt-out “Gift the tokens to the page that has no wallet”

                  When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection. Bravephobes love making shit up Lol
