I’ve read some things online about it all but I’m not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won’t be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?
Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave
One thing that rings alarm bells for me is that they have a built-in adblocker, but you can enable Brave’s ads instead and get a cryptocurrency reward. Brave takes 30% cut on the ads they show this way, so they are essentially replacing the website’s monetization with their own monetization. Kind of scummy, and it being a cryptocurrency also looks grifty.

Secondly, the founder has really awful politics, but I will leave that to the reader.
