    They could just have easily built in the ublock origin plugin and not gone with braves implementation, a browser that is plagued with justified scandal.

    Why Firefox would tie its fate to its disgraced founder is beyond me.

        Sure, so they should have used some of that AI cash to rebuild ublock origin in rust, or push it further along the path to web assembly its already on.

        Hes also a bigot that was removed from leadership at Mozilla that has run multiple scams via Brave, all while taking Thiel bucks. What’s your point?

          i think i misunderstood your earlier reply, i thought you were talking about eich as the founder of brave, but you meant that he was the founder of firefox.

          yeah he sucks.

          i don’t think he wrote the adblocker though.
