Ublock doesn't trigger it. Better YouTube does. Remove it and you're golden.

Brave is commercial grade malware. How anyone can willingly install that on their system and then complain about google selling data is beyond me. At this point, Firefox is without alternatives.

Explain?

Where to start...

  1. They once deployed their own cryptocurrency and used your computer to mine without consent,
  2. They then manipulated all links to Amazon and some other shops to be affiliate links with themselves as beneficiary, earning commissions without user consent (and in violation of Amazon's terms),
  3. They install a VPN service without user consent,
  4. They sell user data (anonymized) to train AI farms

Just brainwashed Mozilla shills spreading FUD. Nothing unusual.

Ublock was triggering mine, odd that it doesn't trigger for others
