That cannot be true; brave cannot block first party ads.

I’m saying something very simple:

1. Brave is a browser like any other, in fact, built on top of chromium.

2. The ad blocking can be achieved with ad blockers using normal browsers. There’s ways to block cookies too.

3. Brave has presets for 1&2. Additionally, Brave adds on top more opt-in ads using BAT as an incentive.

Hence, use a normal browser with ad blocking, not chromium based, and FLOC is a non issue. Don’t use chrome, don’t use brave, no need to bother with this article about floc or whatever google api.

Do all sites on the internet employ first party ads? No? Then it can be true.

It cannot be true that you never saw a single ad because brave cannot block first party ads and the probability that you never ever visited a site that uses 1st party ads is basically zero.

“Basically zero” is not the same thing as zero. “Probably untrue” is not the same thing as “not true”.

This very site uses 1st party ads, so we know for certain that the probability I was talking about is actually zero and not merely basically zero.

Except we know you go to at least one website with first party ads - HN.

Not true. Brave blocks YouTube ads.
