Brave, Ungoogled Chromium, and Helium all still support uBlock Origin.
Replying to @Crumpled6273@lemmy.ca
This is not true.
The flag that UnGoogled Chromium used to support it is going away, and AFAIK there is no fix. Helium inherited the same patch from UnGoogled Chromium.
They will both lose support. See their relevant GitHub issues.
Brave uses a custom, integrated adblocking engine; it technically doesn’t need UBO.
The problem with Brave is the homophobic CEO which, at least for me, is a big no
Jfc, first they had like some coin miner, then dubious analytics or settings or something, now the head dude is a bigot? It’s like an as-seen-on-TV ad: “but wait, there’s more!”
