This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It would be really nice too if they implemented Brave's fingerprint randomization, which is obviously not perfect and I'm never going to expect Tor like anonymity, but is far better than most other browsers. Where Mullvad and Tor try to make everyone look the same, Brave randomizes nearly every important fingerprint.
And I know Firefox does this pretty well already, but from the research I did, Brave's fingerprint vector randomization is another level.
i noticed it allowed one to evade reddits fingerprinting filters temporarily. so it was useful for a month when i was using that browser.
As someone whose employer blocks the installation of browser extensions, I am more than excited to hear that!
Using the web sucks since that policy has been implemented a year or so ago.
Integrated adblock engine would rectify that again.
They didn't include this in the release notes? What in the world is going on?
From what I saw in a waterfox thread, it's not enabled, has no lists added or setup and is clearly early-stage.
It's still a bit odd to deploy dormant code to non-testors, isn't it? Mozilla can withhold a Nightly or Beta feature for as long as it feels like, regardless of how many versions are released as they develop it.
I'm not in software development so don't have an opinion on the practice, just passing on what I read that seemed relevant.
I don’t think it’s as good as uBlock Origin.
It's a re-implementation of the uBlock origin engine in a faster language, and it can be used with all the same lists as uBlock origin. The only thing missing is a decent user interface, and even if Firefox isn't committed to providing one, WaterFox is.
Source on this? Are you saying brave's adblock is reimplementation of ublock. I have never heard of that. Maybe inspiration?
Good to hear, actually something worthwhile from FF (rust?) rather than AI crap. Hope it gets to Zen soon (and i can trust it as much as uBlock).
Is there a risk of negative conflicts if you also have uBO? Like having two antivirus apps being counterproductive.

Can it really? I mean, you already mentioned there's "no decent UI", which I take it to mean there's no way to customize the lists in Firefox, but can it be customized in Brave? Also, can it handle the blocking of Youtube Ads as effectively as uBO does?
It's been ages since I've last tried Brave, so I really want to know. I may actually try and use it as backup chromium-based browser if that's the case.

It's good if you don't mind the CEO being an evil idiot, he is anti-lgbtq+
That's why it's been "quietly added", it's not ready for use. You can add lists in about:config, but this is just a super early implementation.
Yes, you can adjust filter lists in Brave, including custom ones.
too little, too late
