    As far as I know most inbuilt adblockers, don’t work very well. Especially with yt. Everytime yt does something, you would probably have to wait for new version of your browser, and even then it is questionable if it would work. With ublock origin you just click on one button and you are good to go. If somebody doesn’t know, I’m talking about refreshing your filters.

      I’m yet to see any ad since I’ve started using Brave. Din know about YouTube, I don’t use it.

        Why would you want to use some Google-coded, bigoted-ceo, crypto-pushing, link hijacking POS like Brave?

            Brave adblock is just a fork of uBlock with a whitelist for Brave’s partners.

                That’s fine but you should understand that you shouldn’t endorse an inferior product just because you don’t need anything better

                  I’ll endorse whatever I feel like. And… Inferior? Lol. Just looking at the retard UI of Firefox is enough for me (p.s., I’ve been a FF user for almost 20 year, since it still was Phoenix).

                  By the way, I’d be curious to know what would happen to FF if somewhat uBlock Origin disappeared. Equivalently, the only thing keeping FF alive (apart from sweet Google’s money) is the existence of uBlock Origin, i.e. an independent extension created and maintained by volunteers. I’m pretty sure that the day uBO dies, is the day FF disappears

                    Why not just change the UI then?

                    How do you figure it’s u-block?
