My brave browser still blocks everything. Very pleased.
Brave is run by a fascist tech oligarch. They're still collecting your data to send to ad companies, they're not even half as 'privacy respecting' as they claim to be. If you're an American, you should be worried. Those ad companies are, by extension, selling their data to the government to bypass the 4th Amendment.
Brave doesn't do anything that uBlock Origin and Mullvad don't already do better.
