Does Brave have ad blockers as feature rich as uBlock Origin and uMatrix?
- BrendanEich 6y agoYes, and more. See https://brave.com/privacy-updates-6/ https://brave.com/privacy-updates-6/ and prior posts in the series.
- BrendanEich 6y agoWe support uMatrix as extension and will continue to do so even after Chrome breaks it via Manifest V3. We don't build all its powers in (yet).
- pseudalopex 6y agouMatrix was abandoned. Did you mean uBlock Origin?
- BrendanEich 6y agoNo, I mean uMatrix. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail//ogfcmafjalglgifnmanfmnieipoejdcf https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail//ogfcmafjalglgifnm...
- jonathansampson 6y agoMost blockers these days use the same lists; this includes Brave. Brave also does additional work, liking inspecting the CNAME to see if the domain is an alias for a third-party, known tracker. One area where Brave is a little behind is in the aesthetic blocking, things like clearing elements off a page. We have that ability as well, but it's not quite as mature and well-rounded as you would see in something like uBO. Our work is not complete :)
