isn't that basically what brave did?


They are also replacing some with their own ads to promote their tokens iirc. Sounds like a cool concept in theory, but at this point I'm done with internet ads. There will be no third party ads served to me on websites, period. uBlock Origin does this quite well, and having it on Android too is a blessing.


'There will be no third party ads served to me on websites, period.'

Amen to that. I refuse to be sold to in any form possible. Partly the reason I won't switch to IOS. I'm too married to kiwi browser and it's ability to support ublock.


FYI you can use actual uBlock Origin on Android by using Firefox.


I have both Firefox and kiwi running. Ff works most of the time.


Brave blocks ads, then introduces their own... There's a conflict of interest, especially as free services rely on ads to be free.


And then some. Brave is a polarizing project.


I refuse anything or anyone involved with crypto.


That's nice, ignorance is bliss after all.
