What will happen to Brave browser after the manifest change? (sh.itjust.works)

I've read some things online about it all but I'm not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won't be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?

Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave

Fennec is even better than Firefox, it's the same source but recompiled to allow all add-ons in the main app. So basically a stable Firefox nightly, if you wish.

It's maintained by the folks behind the f-droid app store themselves, so arguably a highly trusted source.

Sync to Firefox desktop fully implemented and working.

I've been using Mull, a fork of Fennec

Oh nice, I'll check that out as well. What would you call the core differences?

Supposedly its got more security/privacy/anti-tracking. From what i can tell there is no major differences besides it using this configuration user.js by default

Ah nice, sounds great. I'll test it over the weekend when I got some free time.
