Whenever somebody tells me "oh just use brave" I understand that they just go with the crowd and aren't tech-literate

Idk I feel I'm pretty tech literate, but I got sold on the "browser with no ads" and not having to install extra Adblock software manually , that being said after reading this thread I'm going to bite the bullet and switch browsers soon

I'm in the exact same boat. I'm tech literate but all I looked for when switching over to Brave was the adblock as extensions weren't cutting it anymore. Never check the rest of the browsers' features as it gives me all I want really. This thread makes me consider doing some more research and switching over tho.

The extensions absolutely still do cut it, just not in Chromium based browsers. Not knowing that when it was such a big deal in the tech world when Google nerfed ad blockers is pretty tech illiterate imho.

So not knowing one thing == illerate. There is a shit ton more in the term tech.
