Windows Phone gets revenge on YouTube from the grave by helping users bypass its ad-blocker-blocker::Windows Phone to the rescue. A lot of YouTube users want to know how to get around the new annoying YouTube pop-up telling viewers to disable their ad-blocker.
Same here, I have YT watch history turned off and have ads blocked through Brave (I know I know, I’m trying to find a better browser) and haven’t seen anything at all yet, on my pc or phone.
Any particular reason to not use Firefox with addons like ublock? Just curious
I just don’t trust Firefox. The Mozilla Foundation is just a front for their corporate side, the Mozilla Corporation which somehow reaps in millions in profits despite being a free browser. I read that most of their profits come from letting Google integrate search and other features into Firefox. I’m currently migrating to Librewolf for PC which has the same framework but lots more privacy functionality. For iOS, Brave collects a lot less information about you than Firefox- check the App Store pages for each browser and compare.
I don’t understand your ranting about mozzila. In the wiki page you posted right there :
Where is the profit on the page? The revenue isn’t profit, it’s how much money they make without the costs.
Then how do you expect a browser to survive without revenue? There are 3 major browser engines on the market today :
Al of them suck up huge amount of money.
For revenue, they also have more products than Firefox https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mozilla_products which also make money or not.
What about them letting Google have their way with Firefox? Mozilla may have good morals at heart but google certainly doesn’t.
Google doesn’t do anything with Firefox except pay them for searches and to be the default search upon install — which takes 2 seconds to change if you want to.
The Mozilla Corporation is a tax entity for the Mozilla Foundation. Your bullshit detector is miscalibrated.
Why is it every time I see something about Brave it’s either singing it’s praises or demonizing it’s failures, there’s literally no in-between
It’s a solid browser for beginners and it doesn’t deserve the hate it gets, but I asked myself the same question about Brave- how do they make money? That’s why I’m sticking to open source volunteer-run browser projects.
Probably through that weird crypto thing lol, they still have ad revenue with their rewards system.
