Doesn't Brave, Brandon Eich's project, already do this? Its nicer to use to.

Oh you're right. Silly Mozilla adding protections to their browser for their user-base.

That's it everyone. Shut down Mozilla and have all the users switch over to Brave. Brandon Eich's got everything covered.

No one said you couldn't use Mozilla. But this is being treated as news when it has already been done elsewhere. I strongly support your right to use whatever browser you want.

I have had mixed results with brave on my phone. Sometimes it blocks adverts sometimes it doesn't.
