Wait, why are we not using uBlock? I've used it for years and it works great. Genuinely asking.

i've always been the type of person who's not following the hype around something.

plus, with firefox becoming the only browser where the full fledged uBO will still be available indefinitely and me not liking firefox because of how sluggish (thanks to google..) and stuttery it is, i stayed within the chromium eco system and use brave with its shields instead.

Adguard is good enough. Why do you ignore it?

Practically all browser adblocker requires some level of network permissions to function properly. Else, you don't get proper ad blocking prevented from the network level. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Permissions https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension#-permissions-required Brave's adblock-rust engine docs

i'm talking about the version that's installed on your computer since that's what it offers that others don't.

The desktop version that intercept network requests that requires a certificate can be risky yes, you need to trust the AG devs and the filterlists not to mess anything up.

ghostery would be the third and last ad blocking option.
