I don’t use Brave, but I did read that post because I am interested in how they are handling this. It’s worth reading for that.
Filens Android app has trackers from Google and Sentry.
They went from no trackers, to Matomo (that was not announced in their change log), then to Google and Sentry.
OP did not elaborate on their issues. You said it creates a whole slew of issues, I asked what they were.
No need for a strawman here. What are the issues?
What are the issues? Both my browsers have it disabled.
Because it’s a privacy and security risk? Because it reduces fingerprinting?
Pretty decent article here

And there is https://filterlists.com/ which is a searchable index of lists. If you use uBlockOrigin you can add lists directly from fliterlists.com otherwise it provides links to Github etc.
I think many people see it as normal/expected.
A coworker showed me a video yesterday on their phone, I said ‘holy hell what is this shit? This is what it looks like for you?’ And opened it in Tubular. They had no idea such a thing existed.
I rarely watch videos because I prefer to read. The people I work with spend a vast amount of their free time watching YouTube and TikTok. They just seem to zone out, or be really interested when an ad comes on.
I misunderstood, sorry.
It seems quite adaptable though, birds cows, cats, humans.
Bit late to worry about it jumping to humans.
I think people conflate it with the MIT blackjack team
Do you have a source for that?
That’s a great read, can’t wait to get the book.
Indeed, that is just an ad blocker. I looked at their github and it hasn’t been updated in 7 years.
For good basic ad blocking you might want to try something like https://controld.com/free-dns which works well. No app required, just set it in your DNS on Android.
If you want more finetuning look at the app https://www.rethinkdns.com/
For bypassing pay walls you want something like Cromite (Chromium) or better Firefox, or a privacy fork like Mull.
Honest question. Which ones? On mobile uBlock Origin/ Firefox and Cromite with easy list etc. don’t seem to have a problem with it. Mulch will hit the pay wall, but that doesn’t have ad blocking.
Or different browsers. Wired is soft paywall, iirc 5 articles a month. Like you said, super easy
Isn’t it past imperfect though? So it would be goed
