      There has been much more press in the past week about ad blocking as Google's influence is being questioned as it rolls out ad blocking as a feature built into Google's dominant Chrome web browser. https://twitter.com/jason_kint/status/965587142822039553 …

      Many of the things in this thread are not true, or incorrect, or important things are missing. I would advise people to ignore it (and Google) and stick with a good ad blocker, like AdBlock Plus or uBlock Origin.

      My understanding (maybe wrong) is that the new blocking features make it possible to make existing adblockers much more efficient & less invasive. Of course "acceptable ads" is nonsense.

      No. Google will block only 1% of the current ads - not enough to make a difference - so it can be safely ignored. Use a good ad blocker. The thread mentions various privacy tools. That's bullshit. They are no replacement for an ad blocker.

      Again, my understanding from someone who's looked at the code is that you can do all the network-level blocking using Google's new framework (controlled by an adblocking extension or patches to chromium, not sure which) & just need bloated js for finer-grained stuff.

          Maybe that's wrong. But in no way am I claiming that you don't need UBO, just that there might be ways to lighten the runtime cost of UBO using the new stuff in Chrome.

          No, the "new stuff" will only stop ads that Google finds too disruptive, which is about 1% of the ads out there. Not worth bothering with. Use a proper ad blocker, don't rely on Google to do the work for you.

          As I understood (maybe wrong), @CopperheadOS claimed the new framework is useful, but maybe it's only if you're patching Chromium, not accessible to extensions.

          The filtering extensions rely on getting a bunch of async requests for each connection and are essentially soft fail. Having a native filtering engine is very useful. Brave implements that for Chromium already but substantial out-of-tree code is hard to maintain for Chromium.

          Now that there's going to be an implementation of filtering using EasyList-style lists already present... that changes things quite a bit. It's trivial to replace a check against a blacklist of sites with it being always on, and it should work fine for other filtering lists.

          It's going to be useful for anyone maintaining forks of Chromium with ad-blocking, including Brave. Mobile Chromium doesn't support extensions ATM, and the ideal approach to this is low overhead, hard fail, lightweight support in the browser *not* async IPC requests to JS exts.

          If they ever exposed this filtering engine for use by extensions, uBlock Origin would surely adopt it very quickly. It can't cover all their needs but it could cover the core functionality and make it lighter, faster and more robust. They might even end up doing that eventually.

          Not why we care about it though. Need a native filtering engine we can use for mobile Chromium and the WebView in other apps. Don't care about the silly acceptable ads nonsense. Care about not needing a bunch of out-of-tree code from Brave for this. It's a big deal for our use.
