adblock with python adblock library on Windows
Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList)

installing python-adblock slows down qutebrowser startup
Ah, yup, I can reproduce with that, thanks! I opened an issue here: Loading adblock cache takes 2-4s with huge cache file · Issue #62 · ArniDagur/python-adblock

Ad Block engine In Rust !
From adblock on PyPI (the Python package index):

Vimium C – Extension to navigate website by keyboard shortcuts
FYI Qutebrowser is has a pretty good ad-blocker since 2.0
> Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList). If that library is unavailable or on older versions of qutebrowser, a simpler built-in ad blocker is used instead. It takes /etc/hosts-like lists and thus is only able to block entire hosts.
You just need optional dependancy https://pypi.org/project/adblock/

qutebrowser v2.0.0 released (with better adblocker)!
How would I make adblock "available" on Windows? I found the python scripts here, but I have no clue where qutebrowser would be looking for these?

Adding Vimium to Chrome was a game-changer, it added a lot of shortcuts that helped me improve my productivity. Do ya'll enable Vim commands with every app you use or is it just me?
There are various solutions to this - see point 21 in the FAQ

Drop Windows 32-bit support?
Purely a maintenance thing - faster windows releases and not having to take care of 32-bit support for the adblock library.
-
Minimal browser with effective adblocking?
You will need the (optional) adblock Python library. Once you have that installed, with the default content.blocking.method = auto setting, it'll be enabled automatically. You can also set the setting to adblock explicitly, then you'll get a warning if the library wasn't found.

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!
