Source: Brave browser gets CNAME-based adblocking support - gHacks Tech News

Brave Browser, a Chromium-based web browser that shares its core with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera and Vivaldi, will support CNAME-based adblocking in version 1.17 of the browser.
The feature landed in Brave Nightly already and will be integrated in the stable version of the browser in the coming release.
[...]
Brave Shields, the browser's content blocking solution, will support CNAME-based content blocking in version 1.17 of the browser. The component will "recursively check the canonical name records for any network request that isn't otherwise blocked using an embedded DNS resolver". The request will then be blocked if it has a CNAME record and if the request would be blocked under the canonical name.
CNAME-based content blocking is enabled by default in Brave 1.17, and it is the first major browser to introduce the functionality as a native solution that is enabled by default.
The company plans to release Brave 1.17 Stable on November 17, 2020 to the public.
