Yes, it is. No, the delays on Youtube don’t come from the performance of the adblocking code, so you won’t notice many differences. But more efficient adblocking is good for everyone - noticeably more so on devices with batteries, but still helpful for everyone.
I guess my question is more, is the “brave” one as good as uBlock? Or does it miss some things? Sounds like performance is better.
My only thought about using both would be if the “brave” version is more performant, but less protective, it could quickly get rid of most of the ads, and let uBlock get the rest, reducing how many are filtered at greater performance cost. But I’m sure that’s based on a gross misunderstanding of how it all works.
Why did they not just set ublock as a default installed plugin?
Because the performance of brave lib is a little better since it doesn’t go through the plugin API
Is it? Like YouTube is less laggy with that? Thats the only situation where i see actual delays by adblocking

So should you use this now? Or keep uBlock origin? Or enable both for maximum protection?
it’s up to you which one you wanna use, I’ll keep using uBlock origin (both is overkill, you only need one for blocking ads)
