The only other option is to quietly accept their changes and be ignored.

Or a third option: you know, just vote with your wallet. To follow on your analogy and borrow from a famous quote: “[War is] a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.”

But yeah, I know that gamers will never do that. So, the abuse will continue unabated, and corps will own them more and more.

Proudly not paying Caesar’s due!

I’m aware of that, and it’s part of the reason I haven’t gone far in using Brave as a main browser last time.

But I figure that nowadays pretty much all tech bros have skeletons in their closet, so I guess it’s back to picking products on its merits.

it can be used with all the same lists as uBlock origin

Can it really? I mean, you already mentioned there’s “no decent UI”, which I take it to mean there’s no way to customize the lists in Firefox, but can it be customized in Brave? Also, can it handle the blocking of Youtube Ads as effectively as uBO does?

It’s been ages since I’ve last tried Brave, so I really want to know. I may actually try and use it as backup chromium-based browser if that’s the case.
