I’ve read some things online about it all but I’m not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won’t be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?

Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave

Brave tweeted this last year:

Manifest V3 will not prevent Brave from blocking ads. We built ad blocking into the browser itself so it will not be affected by Google changing its rules for extensions.

Man, I hope Vivaldi keeps uBlock somehow or beefs up their built in ad blocker, or I will be forced back to Firefox. Ugg, I miss active proxy based blockers like proxomitron…
