Won't helium be affected by this change? They bundle Unlock Origin, so they will not be able to do that if they want to follow chromium still. They may have to swap to forking off Brave who uses their own blocking engine.

No idea how they’ll handle it, but yeah, they could lift Brave’s engine. Cromite also has its own adblocker they could pull in as a patch.
