    The web is unusable without uBO. And this isn’t like the brief window where FF was a contender; I’d imagine the proportion of FF users with uBO is rather large.

    Pretty sure brave browser still supports uBlock Origin.

      It does but really doesn’t need it since it has very good ad blocking built into it. Also, Brave isn’t considered a major browser AFAIK

        If it doesn’t support a feature equivalent to uBlock Origin, I can’t consider it to be a major browser. As someone pointed out, the reality is that the interweb becomes practically unusable without it. I dumped Firefox years ago for Brave and it was such a major improvement.

      Brave is just chrome and isnt a “major browser”
