> We are also building an LLM-based ad-blocker after Chrome blocked uBlock Origin.

Since it's a Chromium fork, why not re-enable uBlock Origin instead?

Chromium will remove the Manifest V2 APIs, and none of these forks want to maintain them. Brave also chose to have their own built-in adblocker.

The real question is, why not opt to fork Firefox who is doing that work for them.

+1, enabling uBlock origin could be a short term solution.

But we are working on adding built-in adblockers just like Brave + enhancing it to detect more ad formats using lightweight local LLM.
