The article is basically : We have our own inferior adblockers so don’t panic when UBO stops working.

The classic “we have uBlocker at home” to ad injection pipeline at it again.

Still good to have, but too bad they couldn’t just piggy back off of Brave’s soft fork or something and keep the functionality.

For them to peggy back of a competitor work would be a bold and very risky move.

You’re right, Firefox deserves a little blame for that. :-P

Too bad that Mozilla now also owns an Ad network.

I don’t know how important this is to users of Vivaldi, and I don’t know how good Vivaldi can make their blocker by middle of next year, but this may force me to Firefox. Or maybe someone makes a local proxy like in the old days to do ad blocking Idk.

Blocker is already good
