I’m still annoyed that Chrome has gone to mandatory Google login — exactly the same way Android did (and has received enormous criticism for) — and people at Google are acting like they’re surprised people are upset.

Got any evidence we miss blocking stuff uBO blocks? ICYMI, news on “more secure” front end (we use same chromium back end as stable Chrome): https://twitter.com/brendaneich/status/1043597575243198464?s=21 … Brave-core is same code as Chrome, shares blocklists/rules with uBO but in C++ code not JS, adds further defenses.

Twitter and Facebook ads, for one.
-
I never see any ads in either with desktop Firefox and UBO. With mobile Brave they're both full of "promoted" posts.
-
does uBlock in Firefox block promoted posts on *mobile* Twitter?
-
Indeed, it doesn't seem to in mobile view, but it does seem to with "request desktop site" for mobile[.]twitter[.]com.

Brave permits 1st party ads and promotions. Promoted posts w/in Twitter, FB ads w/in FB, Reddit ads w/in Reddit are permitted under our current default blocking rules. Future releases will allow for users to block those ads as well, if users choose to do so.
-
If publishers run 3rd party tracking in a 1st party ad, we block the 3P request. If a publisher uses Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager, we block those requests. We'll investigate the report here, but I wanted to provide context around our blocking.

haha, that's the same reason i use Brave on Android :) i use Firefox on my laptop, but it consumes the entirety of my 1GB RAM on my phone :(

Not just memory - mobile Firefox lags and glitches horribly (temporary low-res views scaled up, tearing that lasts >1 sec before update, ...) on basic scrolling in Twitter. Something is badly wrong with their rendering and input handling processes...

Never had any issues. Upgrade from flip phone maybe?
-
4GB, 8 core, doesn't flip.
