I don’t like giving questionable 3rd parties full access to my browsing data. I’d rather the browser get that right from the get go.

It’s just like AV, I want Microsoft/Apple to secure their shit and not “Norton”

Oh I get it now. You don't understand how ad-block extensions work.

You don't give anything to anybody there.

PS. Brave is your Norton.

Ad block extensions require access to the DOM, right? How is that not access to browsing data?
Isn’t Brave the questionable 3rd party? And Safari/Edge the better option based on that reasoning.
No, Brave is the first party. They are the ones in control of what the web browser does.

You can replace AV with browser and Norton with Brave in this statement.
