In June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin will be disabled in Chrome 127
Brave has written their own (open source) adblock engine (in rust) that is directly integrated into the browser (ie. not an extension, so is not affected by Manifest V3).
https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust
Here is a (somewhat dated) article describing it by the authors:
https://brave.com/improved-ad-blocker-performance/
- Brave's Rust-based adblock engine
-
uBlock Origin 1.50.0
Brave has its own Rust implementation of an adblocker embedded in the browser: https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust; so it does not embed uBlock Origin (but the filters are mostly compatible)
Disclaimer: I work at Brave but not on the browser.
-
Does Brave now fully support Procedural Filtering or is uBlock still needed?
We support :has currently, which impacts many filters in EL and uBO. Some non-supported filters such as upward() can be manually converted over to use :has instead. The other unsupported procedual filters are a WIP will depend how easy/hard they are implement. No ETA, but have opened a ticket https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust/issues/293

Firefox extends its anti-tracking protection to Android
ublock on chromium and brave itself can't use all of the filters in that list: https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust/issues/4

$removeparam not working in filter lists
I've fixed this in the adblock engine as of https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust/commit/8a755bdb190bb55a3a3acee1e6507085051bdeec, and I'll push to get this patched in 1.47 soon. Thanks for the reports!

Cloudflare verification not working
https://privacypass.github.io/ should help with Cloudflare verification. Works on Chrome and FireFox.

Blocked by Cloudflare
Cloudflare's Privacy Pass may help here: https://privacypass.github.io/
It should significantly reduce the amount of CAPTCHAs you see in a way that's not terrible for privacy.
For Safari, you can enable Private Access Tokens: https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-to-enable-private-access-tok...
Both of these mechanisms are similar to Google's web DRM proposal in that they rely on external issuers to generate tokens, but unlike Google's attempt they don't guarantee that ad blockers are disabled on pages that try to use tokens.

Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed
The author is referring to this standard: https://privacypass.github.io/
Apple uses it for its iCloud Private Relay service. The blind token is used so that Cloudflare can verify that a given device pays for iCloud Private Relay without revealing their identity.
Attestation is when such a blind token is proving the integrity of the software running on the device, not proving arbitrary properties. Privacy Pass could actually enable a fast, semi-decentralized system of anonymizing proxies.
If Apple exposed the “is System Integrity Protection enabled” bit to the web, then that amounts to attestation to me, and yes: Apple can do it whenever it wants, and people want Apple to do it.

Cloudflare traps me in a captcha loop if I'm running any sort of fingerprint protection?.(Firefox)
That's weird, I haven't used it recently but will take a look. Looks like you're not the only one having issues though: https://github.com/privacypass/challenge-bypass-extension/issues/389
