Use Brave's adblocker instead of Adblock Plus

[radiumatic]

We all know that Adblock Plus isn't much effective. The default blocklists are also not enough.

But Brave's is relatively good and supports the Ublock Origin syntax. It doesn't require the extensions API either.

there is a need for technical verification, #560, an evaluation based on sentiment is not enough for me.

[radiumatic]

Are sites that load tons of ads and trackers and give scores based on the amount that is blocked enough? If so, I can conduct a test.

Maybe it's the blocklists' fault, but the embedded adblock plus is a absolutely not better than ublock origin. It fails to block many ads. I suggest you install ublock and browse all the settings. Ublock doesn't only block ads, it can block anything with proper filter. Not only that, but the region-specific filter that I have added is also able to mark "local" sites with censorship in the search page. ([Beware that this site contains censored media.])

no, the information is not visible in any way at present.

I never said that.

Ublock doesn't only block ads, it can block anything with proper filter.

I do not doubt it.
there is an issue present, post your examples there and a way to reproduce it. I always check what is written, but if you help me by giving me the steps to follow, it is easier for me.

Sorry if my "tone" wasn't appropriate.

no, the information is not visible in any way at present.

Can you elaborate please?

Is this not credible? The mechanism seems to be accurate and it's open source.

I never said that.

You mentioned in the linked issue that the custom adblock plus is probably better than Ublock because it can block worker scripts. I'm not sure if Ublock can block them, but it would be too much of an important lacking, for a very popular project, to not implement it.

As for an example, please see https://webtor.io .

no, don't worry, I never thought that.

I mean there is no summary panel with what has been blocked.

Is this not credible?

is obviously a personal opinion.
is valid in principle as a test method, but has no practical value. the score in itself is of no use.
https://canyoublockit.com/extreme-test is more valuable

"probably" precisely.

but it would be too much of an important lacking, for a very popular project, to not implement it.

ublock cannot do anything about it, it is not supported by chromium at all.
but the chromium team is changing the way blink fetches resources, so perhaps ublock will be able to do so in the future.

uBlock would be better.

I just discover this filter. It will not dectet adblock by any site. And it will block all the ads.

It works like a charm

Adblocking is still detected on some websites.

[Oriebirnavi]

It's not a miracle. But it works on 95% of sites. Almost balanced with UBlock. Enough for me not to use Ublock as an extension and take advantage of what this Chromite browser gives us

For me it works worse than the default easylist filters, it is detected on many websites. I guess it depends on the websites you use.

wouldn't it be better to replace adblock plus with brave's adblocker?

[Xisrr1]

It would be better, but I find uBO to be even better.

[mathfelin]

What was placed on the chromite is very bad, even the floorp that has their own with the help of AI is better than that.

wouldn't it be better to replace adblock plus with brave's adblocker?

no, from my point of view.
the alternative is to activate the extensions in android, which I will try to do at some point.

But enabling extensions could lead to security risks.

Also, I don't like extensions on Android because I don't like their GUI, it would be better in Cromite's settings page.

Additionally, it would be great to get a toggle for blocking ads in the 3 dots menu in every website. (Instead of opening the permissions page.
