This shows how much Brave pretends to be an independant browser but is basically just chrome. Looking at how hard it is to just preserve the features that are requested by users.

That's a very uncharitable way to look at things. Brave obviously doesn't have enough resources to fork chromium (even the multi trillion dollar M$FT didn't have and had to fork Chromium), but they definitely provide the best mobile browser by far.

    When I used Firefox on android it ran fine for me and supported ublock origin. Now I use Orion on iOS and it even supports sponsorblock on YouTube.

    I consider every browser using chromium as a backend -- especially those that started with another backend and then switch to chromium -- as a traitor to the Internet.

    They have no standing especially if they purport to care about things like privacy.

      To me, there is very little wisdom in using a piece of software designed by an internet advertising company to browse the internet. The incentives are just too perverse.

Will any other "just Chrome"allow you to run the full UBO post mv2 removal?

> Update: As of v1.81, we host the following Manifest V2 (MV2) extensions on Brave’s backend: AdGuard, uBO, uMatrix, NoScript. These extensions operate independently from the equivalent versions that are currently present on the Chrome Web Store, and have to be downloaded separately
