What if I just want to go on movies pirate streaming sites so bad I need ublock origin and the brave “shield” on 24/7? Is this Firefox, Vivaldi or xelemental-compatible ? I’m on brave but you make me regret it

uBlock Origin works better on Firefox-based browsers. You get the full uBO experience, not uBO Lite.

Get LibreWolf if you’re as paranoid as I am - but the onboarding sucks, you need to remember by default it clears all your data every time you close it (can change in settings).

As I understand it (not a Brave user, I may have misundersood) the Brave “shield” is partially tracking protection and partially snake oil. Firefox has enhanced tracking protection. You can even turn it up to “strict”, if you’re willing to sacrifice website functionality for increased privacy.

Anyway, browser’s not a forever decision, try one, try several, see what you like

uBlock Origin works fine with Firefox but it’s not better. Brave Shield is basically UBO rewritten in Rust and integrated directly in the browser code so it isn’t limited by the extension API and works more efficiently.

Brave shields shit themselves whenever I do a coldboot and have previous tabs open (as in it opens and autoplays youtube ads)

And this is not a chromium issue because Vivaldi doesn’t shit itself in that way

Meanwhile on Firefox UBO works just fine
