I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

Isn't Brave doing this because they have their own way that they sell ads for coins?

I don't entirely approve, I think. But if it helps fight Google's domination of the market, fine.

Brave is awesome on iOS where it will block YT ads! However, for regular desktop usage I've been using Firefox for the better part of 2 decades. Never really weaned off it actually.

Especially with the sync option, they are the perfect alternative to Chrome or any of the other commercial initiatives.

Brave has had my respect. Today, Brave earned my appreciation.

Just going to leave this here

I was going to link the controversies section but it seems to have been removed without any reason at all though the controversies are discussed on the talk page for the Wikipedia article that I have linked

Does this mean anything, I mean they can just prevent us accessing to site. And even though this is something we dont wish many websites are going to implement web integrity; which lead us to being forced to use a browser compatible with web integrity if we want to use web.

I know there are always alternatives to services that are probably going to implement web integrity(mainly referring big techs' services) but we all sometimes use their services in some cases.
