 Unfollowed - lame choice. 
 What alternative would you recommend? 
 I’m using DDG 
 I'm wondering, what happens to Chromium based browsers like ex. Brave etc.  I don't actually Firefox too much. 
 Not sure 
 They're still committed to supporting V2 (for now). 
 Yes, but it will ends some time and wouldn't be supported in Chrome extension store. Anyway, as soon as there will be demand, there will be some solution. Let's see. It's too early to say now. 
 It occurs to me that the vast majority probably aren't so quick to switch browsers.  They may just be less inclined to visit sites that bombard them with ads so much.  It would be interesting if this resulted in a significant decrease in traffic to those sites... or maybe the vast majority just aren't using ad blockers in the first place? 🤷 
 YouTube is also asking me to complete a CAPTCHA every time I access it through Brave or Safari with an ad blocker.
