Still the same engine as Chrome, so it doesn't do anything against the monoculture of Chromium. Firefox works just as well, admittedly they'd have to install an extension instead of ad blocking being there by default.

This post is about UBlock being blocked on CHROME. Naturally, the folks interested in this development are likely interested in a chromium based browser that does allow blocking ads. Brave is a solid solution here.

It's funny people try to avoid Brave because of the crypto stuff init - like you can totally ignore that (it's not even enabled by default). So in daily usage, it behaves as if uBlock was a browser (rather than a Browser extension). It's great.
