In the Releases section of uBlock Origin's repo, I state "uBO works best on Firefox". Here is an demonstration of this: the dark green/red bars are uBO before/after it gained ability to uncloak CNAMEs on Firefox. Link to article: blog.apnic.net/2020/08/04/ch…

Ugh, "an demonstration" => "a demonstration" -- I changed "illustration" to "demonstration" at the last second...

it's almost at the point that uBO is Firefox's killer feature. I'm trying out Safari post the Big Sur upgrade (as I do after every macos upgrade), and while the browser's quick, you just can't get the blockers (using AdGuard for Safari). reckon I'll be back on Firefox soon.

@apnicdg any chance you could re-test on a newer version of Brave (nightly). We are just days away from our CNAME work landing in stable.

Wow, CNAME cloaking went from fringe to mainstream pretty quickly. Thank you (very much) for your work fighting this and other anti-privacy measures!
