There was a period of time where uBlock origin wasn't cutting it, so I switched to Brave. But yeah, I agree that the whole ad-blocker is a big cat and mouse game that doesn't favor the tech companies.

Once in a while, the tech companies might figure out a way to block the ad-blockers, but it just won't last: the hackers will figure it out before long. If the tech companies stopped using regular HTTPS to serve webpages and set up a walled garden like Netflix, they really could stop the ad-blocking. They'd have to make their own browsers/clients to support their proprietary protocol, and use encryption, so for instance you'd have to download and install a new app just to watch YouTube videos, but it could be done. But this isn't going to go over well with users I think.
