Just to give a sense of the tradeoffs, deprioritizing this feature has allowed us to ship even more network partitioning improvements, a uniquely privacy-improving approach to de-AMP-ing, new fingerprinting improvements, improved blocking capabilities, in the last few months, etc etc etc.Its not ideal to have to recommend extensions to users, we want Brave to provide best-in-class protections for all users with all needs, even with needs that are (compared to our entire set of 50m+ users), relatively rare Another reason we decided to deprioritize the feature is that extensions like uBlock Matrix provide very similar functionality.We prioritize features that we think will bring the most privacy improvement for the most users, and, given the high upkeep cost of this feature, given the current state of upstream, we have (at least for the time being) had to deprioritize this feature. This is an experts only feature, and an unfortunately we have limited resources and a near infinite number of privacy features we’d like to add.Because of internal, upstream changes in Chromium, this feature went from being difficult to implement, to being extremely costly to implement.I lead the privacy team at Brave and wanted to explain why the feature isn’t currently avaialble.
