The truth is Brave has a nice adblocker, but they have a big problem, I don’t know if it is because they became ‘big’, as a bigger company than when they started but for example they don’t let you turn off or on any internal filter list, which means they can do anything with it, like whitelist Startpage, Brave, Yandex and you can’t do anything to stop that. Well, you can use Samsung with Adguard extension, it is better than ABP. I’m staying fairly optimistic for now, despite the nastiness of some companies. Pretty sure that adblocking will continue to thrive one way or another – I mean, even for ads that are part of the video (“our sponsor XYZ” etc.) there are creative solutions like e.g. I am also pretty sure that Kiwi will just adopt Manifest V3 eventually, thereby downgrading adblocking a bit sadly, instead of giving up on Chromium updates entirely (problematic for security reasons…). I am fairly certain that they will also add support for the rest in time – there is no technical limitation going forward at least, as Brave’s internal adblocker is not an extension and thus unaffected by whatever impact Manifest V3 will have. Twitch is bothersome indeed.Īll I can say is that, in my experience, Brave has been making steady progress with its built-in adblocker, and it is already supporting most of uBO’s rules. Brave also struggles with it, and any other adblocker really. As you’ve already alluded to, uBlock Origin also struggled with Twitch ads for quite a while (and is still somewhat hit and miss from what I read, but better than others). It has been and will always be a cat and mouse game most likely. Facebook made a similar hard-to-circumvent move against tracking parameter stripping recently: Some companies like Twitch go out of their way to deliver their ads to you, in their case they have embedded them into the videos themselves. So you can look at the little fly on the wall all you want, the truth is only Brave has worked in a decent native adblocker because it is the closest thing to uBlock and it is still not there for many small reasons, but it is the only one that will do it when Manifestv3 finally is the only thing and Kiwi and uBlock will not be a thing anymore, let’s be honest Kiwi won’t be able to upgrade to newer Chromium versions and keep Manifestv2.īut, Opera is worst than Vivaldi and Vivaldi is not that great because it is missing too many features, so why would Edge be any better? At least they are doing something but a company like Google of course will keep changing and changing trying to stop adblockers and find new ways to serve ads that are harder to yes, you are right of course. But I don’t think it is something that can be used in other adblockers but uBlock.Īnyway, eventually Youtube might to the same, they are actually nicer than Amazon since they fight adblockers but don’t add super greedy technologies. All native adblockers are a joke, the only one that seems to be almost there is Brave but they are still missing couple features.īut eventually not even Brave will work like happens on Twitch, where you have to use uBlock advanced users to sideload a script that sometimes works and sometimes it doesn’t and I think it still sends the stream to 480p to avoid ads, better than nothing, if not people would have to use the proxy version to avoid ads.
