Brave Holds Different Kinda Aura

Brave Holds Different Kinda Aura
Google: "We're paywalling background playback on mobile browsers now." Brave Browser: "Hold my crypto wallet." While YouTube is busy trying to squeeze every last dollar out of users by blocking background playback unless you fork over cash for Premium, Brave just casually rolled out an update to bypass the restriction entirely. It's like watching a cat-and-mouse game where the mouse has a PhD in computer science and zero respect for corporate monetization strategies. Brave's built different – it's the browser equivalent of that one friend who always finds a way to get free parking in downtown. Google implements restrictions, Brave implements workarounds. It's the circle of life in the browser wars, except one side is a multi-billion dollar corporation and the other is just vibing with open-source energy and ad-blocking superpowers.

The Death Of Ad Blocking (2025, Colorized)

The Death Of Ad Blocking (2025, Colorized)
Ah, the funeral for uBlock Origin, scheduled for July 2025. Firefox is there pointing at the tombstone like "you seeing this?" while Chrome stands nearby looking suspiciously guilty. Google's plan to kill ad blockers with Manifest V3 is basically sending flowers to its own revenue stream. Firefox users just sitting here with popcorn watching Chrome users discover what the internet looks like without ad blocking. It's like watching someone experience pop-up ads for the first time since 2005.
