It just works the best. Ad-blocking is unrivalled. I've tried Firefox+extensions, Duduck Go browser etc, but none match Brave's ad-blocking capabilities on mobile and desktop.

And I'm all on board with the dream of users receiving a return on their attention. Yes the quantity is small now, but that's because it's just starting out.

The only difference in the blocklist compared to UBlock Origin is that Brave allows some trackers to preserve website functionality, other than that there can't really be any noticable difference unless you installed a bad extension instead...
