Brave sucks booty and I don't get why people use it
Please elaborate how it sucks booty. Ive been using it for like a year or so and have had zero issues with it.

And Im talking about the functionality of the browser itself.

Brave is based on Chromium and that's the biggest reason you shouldn't use it.

If youtube gets really crazy with this, won't it hurt content creators by giving them less views?
they will also give them more revenue due to more people seeing ads so it balances it out

This doesn't seem like a good reason

At the end of the day, Chromium is maintained by Google and Brave is using a fork of it. If Google puts down some changes into the next build of Chromium that breaks ad blocker functionality, that'll eventually work it's way down into all Chromium based browsers. Escape the Google botnet while you can.

They're eventually planning on it, with the roll out of Manifest V3

not sure how it'll affect Brave, since it's built into the browser rather than using an extension

Watch enough youtube and it will block playing until you disable your ad blocker.

Youtube is gonna start banning people from the site who use adblock because you're no longer economically viable if they can't use advertisements to get you buy things you don't need.


If only they knew I never click ads anyway.

Ads to me, mean overpriced junk.

Ublock orgin runs better on Firefox Browser.
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox

In addition, it's completely immune to Google attempts to kill AdBlock with Manifest V3
https://adguard.com/en/blog/firefox-manifestv3-chrome-adblocking.html

Forks of Firefox are just flat out superior to Brave when it comes to anti-fingerprinting and privacy based browser. Librewolf,Tor,and Mullvad base their browsers on Firefox for this reason as well.

I normally use those and was getting the pop up if I didn't clear my cache once a day. The pop up was probably a scare tactic to get more people to buy premium.

Thats what I experienced. Had to clear my UBO cache and update filters once or twice a day, then suddenly I didnt see it anymore.

It's behaving weirdly for me. I'm not getting popups anymore, but it's attempting to bypass the adblock to play an ad for like 10 second, before the video starts and doesn't have ads.

I'm getting weird 6-15 second black screen buffers that seem like broken ads, then it plays.

Sweet, waste time and don't even get to see why. It's like a weird win win?

I've also had that happen. Was even happening a couple days before getting the first pop up.

Not getting the pop-up (haven't since I first got it about a week ago and cleared my browser cache, updated uBlock filters, and switched off the YouTube domains in Privacy Badger), but whenever I open a video now, playback stops 1 second in and I have to manually resume the video every time.

A minor annoyance, but still an annoyance nonetheless. I'm unsure what exactly to do or where to go from here.

All this panic over skippable 15-second ads. God help you if you ever run into real problems.
