Brave Browser, which recently reached more than 100 million users worldwide, has rolled out a major overhaul of its built-in adblocking engine, cutting memory consumption by 75 percent and delivering a measurable performance boost across desktop and mobile platforms. The changes are live starting with Brave v1.85, with further optimizations scheduled for v1.86.

According to the Brave privacy and security team, the reworked adblock engine now saves roughly 45 MB of memory by default on all supported platforms, including Android, iOS, and desktop systems. The savings increase further for users who enable additional filter lists.

    Hey, at least it’s not more browser bloat, or AI features no one asked for.

    Its a theil backed browser I would rather use stock firefox than brave if you're worried about privacy which is its whole selling point.

    OMG Its you again! Some hours ago you were showing fashtech with Omarchy and now you go in support of the crypto-shit untrustworthy Brendan Fucking Eich browser?

    And it doesn't matter that I got you out of my feed in wherever your Omarchy post was, because you have alt accounts everywhere for "promoting instances" or some BS.

    I'm currently using Zen, I've used Floorp in the past. For mobile I use IronFox. There may be better options, but unless someone points me something bad about the I am happy with Zen and IronFox atm.

    I've heard that Vivaldi is like the only good Chromium, but I really have no idea about it
