The element picker and disable JS button are also a life saver. Gets around so many shitty things about the modern web. The one thing I agree with from Brave (Firefox all the way though) is including uBlock by default (I just wish they gave credit).

Yeah they really are. I use to use firefox but now I use a modafied version called librewolf. It comes with ublock by default

Why not LibreWolf, a privacy oriented browser that ships with the real uBlock Origin? ;)

And using Firefox or its derivates supports the Internet. Chromium's near-monopoly only helps Google dictate web standards.

wdym with the rral ublock origin? 👀👀

[–] te_st_user@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Because Brave ships with a very limited ad blocker that is not uBlock Origin
