Why did they not just set ublock as a default installed plugin?
Because the performance of brave lib is a little better since it doesn't go through the plugin API
Is it? Like YouTube is less laggy with that? Thats the only situation where i see actual delays by adblocking
I use brave as my YouTube browser and it does seem to perform better than Firefox with unlock. There's frequently weird delays with Firefox where the ads get through a little and are then blocked(admittedly I probably only update it like once a month). I don't get that with Brave.
I wonder if that's the ad blocker or if it's Chromium.
I never experienced that, only youtube is lagging hard. How much ads you still get probably depends on your location. I dont see any with ublock.
