Reminds me of Peacock's web client trying to get me to use something other than Brave browser, because Brave browser blocks their ads completely.

HAHA, nope.

Peacock straight up disallows anyone running Linux from using it, regardless of what browser they're using. Guess I'll just pirate lol

In the next 6 to 12 months Google is removing most adblock functionality - switch to Firefox (also Firefox mobile is amazing with uBlock origin )

They're not allowing remote connections for security , but you need a lot of 3rd party data to keep track of lists of ever changing malicious websites and ads to block

also Firefox mobile is amazing with uBlock origin

ublock on mobile is a total gamechanger if you have a cheap phone with low performance
