I love brave's native ad blocking, so the idea of _even MOAR_ ad blocking appeals to me. But what is the distinction between "1st party ads" vs 3rd party? I'm a noob in this arena, so I'd need an example.
other notes:
- Love the discussion of features instead of vibes
- Even though I don't understand the comparison table, I appreciate the attempt at quick summary.
- I'm not even a fan of Kagi, if anything I'm mildy opposed. But "a browser with less ads / more privacy" may legitimately win me over.
- freediver 1y ago1st party ads - 'hosted' on the website itself 3rd party asd - 'hosted' on third party sites Orion blocks both by default (Kagi's whole game is anti ad-tech), Brave just 3rd party ads by default.
- zamalek 1y agoI'm guessing that the likes of daring fireballs ads wouldn't be blocked - they originate from the server hosting the website. Google ads and such would be blocked, because they don't originate on the site. I can see the theory. First-party ads should (but very much could not) be more privacy friendly. Tracking the user becomes difficult because you need to convince people to add your tracking coda to their website without incentives like Ad payments. So you most likely have to tune ads to what is displayed on the page, ultimately making the page and the user's attention products (which is strictly superior to the entirety of the user being the only product).
- pinkmuffinere 1y agolol, at first this comment confused me because I googled Daring Fireballs, and I saw no ads (ublock origin doing a really good job here). Opening on Brave though, I do indeed see the ads. Thanks for the clarifying example.
