I have never really liked Safari due to its lack of features and lack of customisation. If you wish to break away from Google's Chrome altogether there is Firefox, Safari, Orion and the new DuckDuckGo browser.

When thinking about your next browser, ask yourself how much is my new browser going to be affected by Manifest V3? which will cripple most adblockers and radically alter the capabilites of many extensions when Google removes support for V2 extensions and they are unavailable on the Chrome Web Store.Ĭhoose wisely and support a browser which is prepared to take a strong stand against Google's attempt to cripple adblockers.

There is absolutely NOTHING that Chrome's Manifest V3 can do to break it, as it doesn't depend upon the same API's that other adblockers use.īrave supports CNAME uncloaking and no other Chromium browser can do that, debouncing is also supported this helps with skipping top-level redirect tracking URLs, DE-Amping, IPFS built in to the browser and support for Torrents.I fully agree that Brave's adblocker is not perfect and has a long way to go in terms of development and needs more new features, but as time goes on it will mature and at this point in time it is quite capable and is the best adblocker which is built in to any browser.īrave has also declared that they will continue supporting V2 extensions as much as possible and are fighting back against Manifest V3 as much as possible. Brave’s adblocker and the Brave Shields directly interact with the network stack of the browser without calling ANY extension API (be it from Manifest V2 or V3)!īrave built their adblocker from the ground up so it doesn’t use WebRequest or DeclarativeNetRequest, that’s why Brave adblocker blocks everything before uBlock and this ensures that the Brave adblocker and Shields will continue to work even if Google went so far as to completely remove extension support from Chrome!!!!!. The Brave adblocker is built directly built in to the architecture of the browser. I use Brave in my humble opinion, it is the best Chrome fork in terms of privacy and security.
