		orangeoxidation on Dec 1, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Brave launches private search ads It does not. I find the wild, anti-competitive cross product "synergy" the big tech companies are employing just as concerning as privacy violations. (E.g. Google search pushing Chrome and other services, Chrome sync logging users into YouTube, Android, Windows pushing One Drive, Apple music not paying the Apple store tax, Facebook harvesting WhatsApp data etc.) Brave joining those practices leaves an ugly taste.

You are wrong, the built-in ad blocker does block first party ads in aggressive mode or if you manually add a rule.

But will using UBlock Origin, pihole, Quad9 DNS, and a VPN block ads?

I think the answer is yes, since I am yet to see a Brave ad.
