I use uBlock Origin and disable all the Firefox stuff, no need for two. And now that they are using shit from Brave, I will disable that crap from a horrid company.
it’s an open source component built on the same system as ublock. it’s good for firefox that they add stuff people actually want.
They could just have easily built in the ublock origin plugin and not gone with braves implementation, a browser that is plagued with justified scandal.
Why Firefox would tie its fate to its disgraced founder is beyond me.
…because he also founded firefox?
i guess they receive some cash to distribute brave malware
Is there any benefit to this over ublock origin?
it’s a lot faster since it’s not built with js. less customisable though, since there’s no ui, although i imagine they’re working on that.
To add to this: Waterfox has promised to implement a UI even if Mozilla doesn’t.
More generic and therefore worse for fingerprinting. Though that’s only because it’s built in and standardized.
Is there any value in redundancy?
no, but no harm either. they use the same lists so one of them will just be doing nothing whenever the other removes something.
