I use uBlock Origin and disable all the Firefox stuff, no need for two. And now that they are using shit from Brave, I will disable that crap from a horrid company.
it's an open source component built on the same system as ublock. it's good for firefox that they add stuff people actually want.
They could just have easily built in the ublock origin plugin and not gone with braves implementation, a browser that is plagued with justified scandal.
Why Firefox would tie its fate to its disgraced founder is beyond me.
Rust is faster than JavaScript.
...because he also founded firefox?
Hes also a bigot that was removed from leadership at Mozilla that has run multiple scams via Brave, all while taking Thiel bucks. What's your point?
i think i misunderstood your earlier reply, i thought you were talking about eich as the founder of brave, but you meant that he was the founder of firefox.
yeah he sucks.
i don't think he wrote the adblocker though.
i guess they receive some cash to distribute brave malware
