Brave's ad-blocker is not an extension, it is natively implemented, so the Brave will stay unaffected.

Brave's adblocking is not an extension and is entirely unaffected by changes to how extensions work.

Brave has ad blocking built in - you don't need extensions.

Brave has it's own ad blocking builtin.

Brave also blocks ads, and by default.

Yeah, but the Brave adblocker is built-in, it's not an extension.

Brave doesn't block those ads.

Brave has an adblocker on iOS and android.

Brave has built in ad blocking.

Brave's ad blockers are built-in, can do CNAME uncloaking and won't suffer from Manifest v3.

No, but Brave has adblocking built in.

Brave's built-in adblocker will not be affected, since it doesn't rely on any extension APIs.

We'll also be continuing support for Mv2, in case you prefer to use uBO or other pre-Mv3 adblock extensions.


The built-in ad blocker on Brave browser seems to work fine

Brave does not block native ads (except for Google’s) on any website. All third party embedded ads are blocked by default.

Brave itself blocks ads. It is embedded into the browser called Brave Shields.

How does this affect Brave’s built in ad blocking?

Isn’t one of Brave’s main selling points that it itself is an ad blocker and doesn’t require a third party extension? Something about removing ads from pages before they even make http requests.

I use brave and the ad blocker is on by default.

Weird. How does it integrate Adblock? Do they do a native Adblock the way brave does?

If you don't opt into seeing ads, then Brave is a browser with ad-blocking built in (and a donate-to-sites-you-use button).
