Ironically, Brave tried to be Firefox based in their early days but they ultimately decided Chromium would meet their needs better so they switched over.
They go into detail on their blog: https://brave.com/the-road-to-brave-one-dot-zero/
Hoping manifest v3 ends up being enough of a problem for adblockers that it pushes them to consider moving to firefox.
Brave has already confirmed that their ad blocker isn’t implemented as an extension. It’s not affected by the changeover
its referring to their search engine's ai summarizer feature, i found an article when searching op's title, quite a low effort post really since only an image was shared and no link to any article.. or any description whatsoever.
