I used to visit gaming blogs that were absolutely packed with ads. There were a lot of them. Every time you clicked on an article, a pop-up would open with a huge ad right in your face.
With Brave, you don’t even need to install any extension to avoid seeing that.
On YouTube, it doesn’t stop the videos if you go to another tab or open another app. Your songs or videos keep playing. You’ll still hear the audio.
I use Brave to read Google news articles, otherwise it’s really hellish, especially on a mobile phone.
I was trying to install Pi-hole on my home server to block ads across my network, but I haven’t taken the time to install it and get it working properly. I started, stopped halfway, had to undo what I did, so now I’m back to square one.
