Brave, the false sensation of privacy
&gt; Their adblocker is just a fork of uBlock Origin,<p>This does not appear to be true.  Here is the github repo for their open source adblock engine written in rust:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;brave&#x2F;adblock-rust" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;brave&#x2F;adblock-rust</a><p>Here is a (somewhat dated) article describing it by the authors:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;brave.com&#x2F;improved-ad-blocker-performance&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;brave.com&#x2F;improved-ad-blocker-performance&#x2F;</a><p>&gt; Google will take decisions that benefit their advertisement business, like making impossible to use adblockers on any Chromium based browser.<p>Because the brave adblocker is integrated directly into the browser (ie. not an extension) the Manifest V3 limitations don&#x27;t apply.
