Brave is Brendan Eich's temper-tantrum-disguised-as-business at Mozilla strongarming him to step down because he's a homophobic coward.
Blockchain snake oil dipshit.
tinfoil hat wearers: "Brave is the best alternative to Chrome"
imagine thinking running a Chromium fork that tries to normalize "good" advertisements is "the best alternative". how low is your fucking bar? cowards

Fully automated society will never happen because the automation will be done at gunpoint from stupid business people, causing irresponsible engineering decisions creating things that don't actually work in practice

Remember that Gab is a sinking ship and they're basically grabbing onto Mastodon like a parasite in a desperate attempt to get attention from the "drama" of doing so.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/gab-is-in-full-meltdown-and-founder-andrew-torba-blames-the-deep-state
Torba has no self-awareness to see how pathetic it looks that his master race ass is incompetent at making a working website so he has to resort to using software made by a Jew instead.
App devs will block their domains, server admins will block their domains, and that'll be the end of that.

So Gab has decided that their own code that they spent $5M of investor money developing is so unsalvageably bad that they're going to use Mastodon's code instead, with the added bonus of leeching off of our apps (with Gab apps being banned from app stores)
This is an early warning to fellow admins to be vigilant and domain-block them on sight, when/if they appear (unconfirmed whether they intend to federate), and to app devs to consider if blocking Gab's domains from their app is necessary.

gab
Gab is a website by nazis who spent millions of cash (scammed from fellow nazis under the pretense of building BLOCKCHAIN TWITTER, a promise they went back on immediately after they got money) and years of time to build a php piece of shit that is overran with porno spambots and yet has fewer users than large fediverse instances.
They‘ve now realized they‘re too incompetent to make software and are spending months to get software written by jews, gay trans furries and antifascists to run.

@shaderphantom And also, Brendan Eich, the former Mozilla CEO behind it, is a homophobic fash prick who pushed to add an alt-right wiki as a default search option. 
(and don't get Brave, either. Brave is snake oil meant to justify "good" advertisements. There is no such thing as "good" advertising, this is just the talk of capitalists.)
It makes it abundantly clear that the public feedback they asked for on the change was nothing more than lip service to the extension developer community. I am ashamed to admit I fell for it, because the changes could have been rationalized at the time.
Now, it's abundantly clear that Google wants to exploit you, through Chrome.
Move to Firefox now. There is no better option, now that every other browser is Webkit or Blink based, or directly forked from Chromium.
Context: Google has chosen to move forward Manifest V3 changes that hamstring extension's capabilities for blocking arbitrary requests.
This applies to all Chrome users and extensions, except to Enterprise customers.
Chrome's relationship with its userbase can now be considered "coercive", honestly. After all that feedback on the extension manifest, they chose the worst of the options for users, and the best option for Google.
Given gorhill's investigation of their SEC filing and what it reveals, I do not believe anyone should be using Chrome anymore. That doesn't really matter, because once ad-blockers end up hamstrung in a future release, that will just force everyone over to Firefox or Edgeium.
