Apple will soon treat online web tracking the same as a security vulnerability

In my opinion Firefox could take it one step further and build-in Ublock Origin into the browser. Give it extreme speed with native Rust code. Of course configurable but with a few malware lists enabled by default and a few trackers blocked.

That'd make me definitely switch if I'd get faster ad-blocking and only lose HW accelerated video.

You’ve just described Brave

Brave doesn't have enough of an userbase for any impact compared to say Firefox saying they're one-upping Apple. It also isn't mainstream enough that I'd trust it security wise, any steps behind me and vendor security patches is usually bad.

I'd give it a try. I disabled the Rewards button and everything else that I don't like and it has been working great for me.
