It's better to silo things that require you to install an extension on browsers into a different app. Extensions alter browser fingerprints. So this let's you sponsorblock and AdBlock YouTube without worrying about fingerprints on all other sites
Also has a nice way to handle subscriptions without login
I mean, you really should be using an ad-blocker on the rest of the web too.
yes, but ideally via something built into the browser, not an extension
ublock is ubiquitous enough that it should be fine (comes pre-installed on Librewolf, Mullvad Browser, Ironfox, etc)
The issue with it is how it operates in userspace and how any settings alterations makes the print unique
doesn't the entire browser run in userspace? Also settings alterations make any print unique, even built-in adblockers
Yep, this.
