FYI: Brave Browser

[BitMaster]

A friend informed me about this new browser, based on Chromium as usual, that by default blocks all ads, incl. YT Ads, and much much more.

I am using it for 2 weeks now and I must say, excellent.

 

If you want a browser that doesnt need Adblock XYZ etc...  try Brave Browser   www.brave.com

I'm not affiliated with them, but have been using it since 2020 and it's the internet browser I'd recommend.

I prefer Chromium based browsers and, off them all, for me it's a toss between BRAVE browser and IRON browser. 
It just depends if you want a more feature rich browser (BRAVE) or simpler one (IRON).

That said, and for whatever browser you use, I suggest to add the uBlock Origin extension.
No more annoying adds in websites and youtube.

Yep, Brave user here, too. Put it on all PCs and phones. Blocks 100% of ads, including on YouTube. Extremely useful for limited bandwidth/speed users. It is Chromium based, but does not use their API for ad block functions, so the Google bs later this year does not affect them.

Wow, 

I am amazed how known and well used it already is.

So, 2020 !.... and I thought I read enough IT news every day to not miss such goddies...lol...this wheel is spinning fast.

I have to say, when it comes to Ad blocking, I dont need any additional extension as it blocks YT ads by default ( my #1 priority ) and the other sites look great too, filtered down to the last damn ad.

The simplicity is great, I only needed LastPass and done. I have also only found 1 site it won't open, a client's IP-Phone WebGUI from Grandstream, those won't open with Brave.

 

Yeah, installed on all machines, Win, Linux, Mac and going to bring it to clients as well.
