    @purplehippo The Browser?  It's basically a fork of Firefox.  It advertises a "built in adblocker" but it's more like an extortion racket, because what it does isn't block all ads as directed by the user, but rather, it removes advertisements from advertisers that didn't pay the company behind Brave protection money.  To double down on it not caring about blocking ads so much as building a rent-seeking economy, it used to replace non-whitelisted ads with whitelisted ones.
