Vivaldi is my go to browser. Brave does a better job with blocking ads. I'm switching to Brave whenever I need to stream something on a site loaded with ads, or when YouTube manages to detect my Adblock for a few days.

Not like uBlock Origin is a thing?
Can it really get better than that and consent-o-matic?

[–] hOrni 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I am using uBlock Origin on my Vivaldi. It doesn't block everything.

It's not supposed to block everything. Neither does brave.

"This Other Browser is just as good as Brave*!"

You are comparing a tool to a tool-belt in terms of capabilities.

You think Firefox is the only browser that can use extensions and add-ons? Brave just doesn't need them for adblock because it's built in. But, like all chromium browsers, you can use loads of extensions for loads of use cases. Anything that works on Chrome works on Brave.

It's maybe a few clicks to find the add-ons store in Firefox then searching "uBlock Origin". Hell, when I switched to Firefox last year, I want to say there was even an onboarding that pointed me to the extension upon setup.

So, back to my original point.
