Brave has no more power to stop Google then you or me. The only upside to brave is you get to enjoy features a little bit longer because brave doesn't update to new versions that remove them. Eventually they have to give in just like every other chrome browser. Because brave isn't an actual web browser. It's just a chrome skin with a plugin package. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Ashrakal@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 weeks ago This is a bit of an overstatement. Brave has competent software developers - they created their Rust-based content blocker, and kept it as open-source. It’s one of the most powerful blocking mechanisms, often working in places where even the rightfully praised uBlock Origin doesn’t (good examples are in YouTube itself last year when they’ve made a big attempt to stop adblocking by changing the underlying mechanism of how ads are being served in videos).
