Is it an under-the-table deal, or a technical thing ?
AFAIK ads are delivered in search results in a different manner than they are on a regular website (that is, they are integrated in the search result).
While first-party ads (including on sites like Facebook and Reddit) are different than third-party ads, filter lists don’t discriminate between the two. Brave’s ad blocking engine (which Mozilla imported) is capable of removing all of them.
In other words, Mozilla is going out of their way to add an exemption here.
Yeah dawg cause Google pays Mozilla $400-500M a year.
I understand you don’t like it, but Brave’s Easylist.to is open source and community moderated to my understanding. It does not have any requirements or standards for implementation.
