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.

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.

Additionally, "desktop brave is useless v uBO with Chrome" is false. Brave includes, by default: Https everywhere Ad blocking Tracking protection 3P fingerprinting protection Also: -Gutted Google "phone home" -Tor in private tabs. -Integrated opt-in utility token platform.
-
Also: Cryptojacking protection (default) If you want to just block things, that's one course. If you want to block the problems and be part of a movement toward authentic user consent that doesn't leave content creators and publishers in the cold, then we're here.

Yeah, we will add options for first party ads — but so long as we block any tracking capability they have, we try to let pure first party content alone. Fine line in certain cases, and users always have right to block, so we will enable. Thanks for the info.

I think "first party" gets hazy when the actual site you're trying to use is an advertising business and you are their product. I would not object to first-party, tracking-free ads on a news site...

But Twitter or Facebook or Google is very different. They're just big enough to do 3rd-party ads in-house as "1st-party content".
