    Because the performance of brave lib is a little better since it doesn’t go through the plugin API

      So should you use this now? Or keep uBlock origin? Or enable both for maximum protection?

      Is it? Like YouTube is less laggy with that? Thats the only situation where i see actual delays by adblocking

        Yes, it is. No, the delays on Youtube don’t come from the performance of the adblocking code, so you won’t notice many differences. But more efficient adblocking is good for everyone - noticeably more so on devices with batteries, but still helpful for everyone.

        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 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.
