[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 92963, post: 974159"] There is not much Google can't afford with 1 trillion dollar market value. Mozilla lives because Google pays them 450 million dollar each year. When Google pulls the plug than Mozilla will cease to exist. So I would not trust your adblock future in the hands of Mozilla. Brave has a build-in adblocker and when all 10 million or so uBlockOrigin users would switch to Brave than brave's market share would increase from 0.05% (50 million users) to a whopping 0.06%. Brave has an alternative advertising scheme. Brave ads have a 4 times higher click through rate (CTR) than industry average because Brave serves only few ads and this high CTR with Brave's hard to reach audience (hard core adblock aficionados) makes Brave an interesting advertising platform for mainstream brands. The CEO of Brave is one of the founding fathers of the web(Brandon Eich created Javascript and has an impressive track record at Netscape and Mozilla). As long as Brave shows excellent growth rates, you will be able to opt-out Brave advertising, but in future Brave will force its advertising to its users also (only way less than other browsers will throw at you). Unless AdGuard is able to provide a working Manifest3 alternative (and it seems they will succeed: [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/adguard-browser-extension-v4-0.111171/page-2#post-974138']link[/URL]) I am afraid Google will push this change through our throats.
