HotCakeX Has this by chance come to the Dev build yet? I'm not seeing that in 79.0.294.1. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Hi All,
This browser keeps getting better & better, I used to use UBlock Origin extension HotCakeX mentioned, but now I use this instead : https://adguard.com/en/welcome.html . It's free & you get the 'full' version as a 'trial' for 14 day's, but after that time period, you really don't lose hardly any of the 'important' feature's.

Ublock origin is better. unlike other adblockers, ublock origin doesn't get money from ad companies to let their ads slide through and any other dirty tactics.
adguard is useless and charges for the features that are already free in ublock origin.there is nothing you can do in other ad blockers that ublock origin can't already do. it's so good that even TOR company uses it in their secure browser. i'm just stating the facts here hoping no one falls for lies that companies like adguard claim.
here is also the site for filters: https://filterlists.com/
they can block a lot more than just ads, including but not limited to bit coin miners embedded in websites, malware etc
