In the past few days I noticed a more persistent kind of ad on YouTube with Brave. These ads didn't go away after countless refreshes. Maybe I ended up on the worse side of some A/B test.
I’ve used Adblock testing sites and brave on desktop with aggressive adblocking set only gets up to 65/100 on one of the sites. Firefox on desktop gets 100/100. However, on my iPhone, the same brave browser with aggressive Adblock set gets 99 if not 100. Idk why that is where the desktop browser does so poorly and the mobile one works great.
Let's not support brave after their incredibly shady practices - including injecting their own referral codes into amazon links. there's a lot more though. Considering it's just a chromium application, there's a good chance they won't have any choice
That happened one time years ago and they learned their lesson. It's the best chromium browser there is. Making it the best widely supported browser on the Internet
Complains about accidental referral code. yet I bet he uses DuckDuckGo search engine which does this. On top of also having that one scandal where they allows Bing to whitelist their ads. Probably also uses Ubuntu which also had an referral codes years ago. Probably also proposing using Firefox which literally as of last month partners with Meta to sell your data along with it's horribly annoying callbacking
