Zorin is moving to Brave, a Chromium browser. So, no containers in the stock browser. Download Firefox to restore functionality.<p>Past that, what&#x27;s the state of Brave?<p>As of today, Brave supports manifest v2 and can run uncrippled ublock origin. That&#x27;s good.<p>However, bringing up ublock+brave in the same paragraph invariably draws responses about Brave having Brave&#x27;s own-not-ublock-origin ad blocker!<p>Yes but I also block things that aren&#x27;t ads - like the endless hamfisted attempts to cram AI features into my browsing experience.<p>I have Brave running on this desktop (1 of my 5). It&#x27;s mostly to run a Google login in isolation. I continually find myself reaching for ublock origin.<p>What I <i>can</i> say about Brave is it isn&#x27;t Opera or Edge.
