YouTube blames ad blockers for slow load times, and it has nothing to do with your browser | The delay is intentional, but targeting users who continue using ad blockers, and not tied to any browse…::YouTube has clarified in a statement that users who use ad blockers will have a suboptimal experience regardless of their browser.

    Soon, Firefox will be the only browser left standing that has comprehensive ad blocker support.

    I don’t believe Google when they say this wasn’t intentional.

        The vast majority of code in Brave and Vivaldi is created and maintained by Google.

        I don’t know enough about Safari to comment on Orion, but Orion appears to be a wrapper for Apple’s Safari web view. Apple quietly committed crimes against content blockers before Google managed to roll out MV3.

          That is also true of Chromium browser is it not? Can you provide evidence of questionable or unethical privacy practices by Brave?

          Here is what code Brave removes. 👍🏻

          Where does most of Firefox’s financial support come from? 🤔

            Yes it is also true of Chromium which is why it’s not a matter of finance or money. Brave is simply Chromium based, like Chrome, while Firefox is using its own engine.
