I’ve read some things online about it all but I’m not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won’t be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?

Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave

    When you do that you’d have to port every single security patch and new feature manually into your fork. And it gets even worse: Because you deviate from the original implementation you continue to use outdated code that nobody is patching at all.

    So you can absolutely do that, but in a year you’ll have your own browser with tons of security issues and no manpower to find and fix them.

    Basically you’d be using an old browser version.
