If I'm not mistaken, Brave is based on Chromium, so it's likely that they'll be subject to the same changes.

Brave includes an ad-blocker that is not restricted to using the extension API.

Yes, but they modify it to build adblock in, so one does not need to install a separate plugin.

It’s not in any way comparable to uBlock, which is very customizable, and has a large community behind it working on the cat and mouse game.

One does not choose web browsers on adblocking capabilities alone. Some may need Chromium features that FF do not have, so it’s nice to have options, even if one specific feature (i.e., adblock) is just 80-90% as good as the other.

I choose a web browser based on ad blocking capabilities alone.

If I want to do development I can do that in a different browser. Web developers should have all major web browsers installed anyway.

Agree. Even if not a web developer, one can use different browsers for different purposes at the same time.

Like what? I use Chrome and FF and I can't really see a difference, other than one has advertisements the other does not.

ublock even blocks YouTube video ads.

The new server side rendered ads are not blocked on firefox though

Yeah, the built-in blocker in Brave does, too.

Firefox.
