Brave browser blocks Ads

[Amtrek]

Just found out brave browser blocks the Ads, so no need to scroll down 1 mile on each page to find the actual content

ublock origin also works, i don't think you can see it as a chrome extension anymore because of Google banning adblockers but if you already had it on your PC it should still work. Its also available on Firefox which you should already be using because its so much better than chrome

Firefox is def my main browser. I am not sure how chrome got to be so popular.

Laziness mostly. Gmail is the most popular service provider and Chrome lets you easily share info like account logins and bookmarks between devices wherever you have chrome installed. Also I think a lot of companies utilized Gsuite in the past for workflow but its been shifting to Microsoft 365 (at least at my job)

I find Brave is a bit inconsistent. I see the ads, scroll down, then suddenly it blinks and the ads are gone. But now I am at the bottom of the page and have to scroll up again.

yeah, I think it's how it handles the ad blockers. Some ad blockers checks after the page is rendered, and if the height of the page (ad?) is expected, then they don't kick in. But ad blockers that don't render the ad are then broken because they don't render the page as per the blocker detector. So Brave downloads and renders the whole then and then goes back to remove the ads. I guess during the removal, they don't do a great job at it.

I mean it literally just happened while I was reading your reply. Mid sentence, suddenly everything disappeared. I scrolled up & resumed, but it’s a bit startling.

I've been primarily using firefox for my PC and mobile now for years. I use the uBlock Origin and Privacy Badget extensions.

Interesting. Does it block massageplanet ads? Does it have that huge pause followed by screens refresh that Brave has?

It works well on the desktop. Extensions are not available for mobile

MP implemented an anti-ad blocker tech though. It’s a bit annoying.
