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
