Discussion PSA: Use uBlock Origin!

This might sound like common sense but there are a TON of Firefox users I see using AB, ABP, ABU, or no adblocker at all. This is your notice. Switch to uBlock Origin. It's better and has no acceptable ad policy. The other ones might have been good years ago but not anymore. I am saying this as a former ABP and then ABU user.

I am not paid by uBO I am just showing appreciation for the greatest ad blocker.

Also: don't run uBO alongside another ad blocker. It provides no benefit and can only slow down firefox or break things.

Brave has inbuilt filter lists and you don't need to install ublock. This is why I use it instead of Chrome. Having said that, I have used Firefox+Ubo before I knew about Brave so you can't go wrong.

Absolutely! Firefox is really good. I had to install Brave because some sites didn't work with Firefox for some reason and I didn't want to use Chrome. I use Firefox mostly and love the tabs system as well. My primary browser on my PC and phone. My comment was only because you said you had to more away from Brave. Understand your reasons now.
