Yet another reason to switch to brave…oh wait…brave is built on chromium so…will adblocker of brave also cease to exist? Will it get blocked too? Vivaldi ad blockers may stop too as afaik its based on opera engine

Something similar happening in the smartphone industry. 4G-only smartphones are making a comeback in the $200-$300 range…Imagine buying a new 4G-only smartphone for $300 in 2026 which obviously won’t even have a midrange processor as currently (but soon might change) only low end especially UNISOC SoCs support 4G-only capabilities…what a time to live in!

Better to buy albums directly to support them. Brave FTW otherwise for YouTube
