It's a re-implementation of the uBlock origin engine in a faster language, and it can be used with all the same lists as uBlock origin. The only thing missing is a decent user interface, and even if Firefox isn't committed to providing one, WaterFox is.

    Good to hear, actually something worthwhile from FF (rust?) rather than AI crap. Hope it gets to Zen soon (and i can trust it as much as uBlock).

    > it can be used with all the same lists as uBlock origin Can it really? I mean, you already mentioned there's "no decent UI", which I take it to mean there's no way to customize the lists in Firefox, but can it be customized in Brave? Also, can it handle the blocking of Youtube Ads as effectively as uBO does? It's been ages since I've last tried Brave, so I really want to know. I may actually try and use it as backup chromium-based browser if that's the case.

    Is there a risk of negative conflicts if you also have uBO? Like having two antivirus apps being counterproductive.

    Source on this? Are you saying brave's adblock is reimplementation of ublock. I have never heard of that. Maybe inspiration?
