      I use brave as my YouTube browser and it does seem to perform better than Firefox with unlock. There’s frequently weird delays with Firefox where the ads get through a little and are then blocked(admittedly I probably only update it like once a month). I don’t get that with Brave.

      Yes, it is. No, the delays on Youtube don’t come from the performance of the adblocking code, so you won’t notice many differences. But more efficient adblocking is good for everyone - noticeably more so on devices with batteries, but still helpful for everyone.
