I use brave which is a chromium browser with all the tracking stuff turned off and a few ad blockers baked in. It also has some vpn and crypto wallet stuff built in but it’s not in your face so you can just ignore it.

This ad platform shouldn’t affect brave right? Should just be another thing the brave team are able to automatically switch off when the browser updates?

Is this just for chrome,or is it on all chromium browsers? Im running bromite,but considering going back to Firefox.

Chromium contains it. Up to the browser bundling it how they configure/patch it.
