I've been primarily using Firef*x since 2005, but Mozzarella has gotten a bit too woke[0] for my liking. I've switched to Brave search, and have been using Brave's browser on my phone, and I'm very tempted to switch on my desktops and laptops, too. This feature just might do it for me.

Being sensible is being woke now? In what way has Mozzarella hurt you?
Brave is an ad company basing it's browser on another as company's browser, you know.

So . . . the EU drives regulation to enforce seeking consent as a mandatory step, followed by browsers like brave programmatically defeating the ability of companies to seek consent? Two wrongs don't make a right.
What is the end game here, it's like watching dumb and dumber. I want a great web experience just like the next person, but not at the cost of jeopardizing the successful freemium model of the internet that has given billions of people access.
You are the first person I’ve read. Ever. Sticking up for consent banners that nobody asked for.

Switching every individual and organization I can to Brave in the buildup to Manifest V3 launching.
Encouraging 3rd party patching cowtools to adopt it or the organizations I work with will leave them as a client.
Chocolatey already supports Brave in its packages for Windows.
Feels a lot like the days when Chrome came out and I championed it over Internet explorer and Firef*x. Yeah, we all make mistakes, sorry Firef*x.
Anyway, Brave seems like a great option to keep extensions alive that can actually block ads/trackers. Chrome is about to can that ability.

Why would you switch people to Brave and not to Firef*x..? Brave being a cryptocurrency scam should be enough to enough to turn people away, but I'd also worry about the position of a browser which is in a hostile relationship with the browser engine it's based on.
You can do either. Out of all Chromium-based browsers, Brave seems to be the only open-source, the most secure and transparent browser with a lot of development capacity.
I currently only use Brave and Firef*x on all my devices. Never liked the BAT crap Brave has built-in, but you can disable it and move on.

This won't mean shit when Manifest v3 is released for Chromium
AdNauseum is a pain to use on Brave anyway with their shields feature.
