  • brave-browser

    Brave browser for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows.

  • Yes. Opera switched to Chromium almost a decade ago because they no longer wanted to maintain their own browser engine. As I understand it, unless they (or someone else) fork Chromium and maintain the relevant APIs, proper ad blocking will be impossible in all Chromium-based browsers, including Opera and Edge. Two notable Chromium-based browsers have procured an image of being privacy-friendly. A dev of Vivaldi wrote a blog post about how they might possibly keep their ad blocker alive for now. The Brave team intends to run its own extension store. But for these approaches to work, someone will likely eventually have to fork Chromium. I suspect such a fork wouldn't be very long-lived since its maintenance is a massive amount of work. I also wouldn't be surprised if Google deliberately made merging of security patches etc. harder for them.

  • uBlock-issues

    This is the community-maintained issue tracker for uBlock Origin

  • Based on this ongoing thread on GitHub, while adblockers will still work on Manifest v3, they won't be able to implement their entire feature set, and there have been numerous (and imo, worrying) side effects to mv3 compatible solutions, like the increased resource utilization of Adguard's implementation.
