To you, perhaps.
You could install Brave, or you could install adblock for the browser you're already using. It doesn't seem like much of an advantage for Brave to ship with adblock built-in, given that everybody already uses a web browser.

So it might seem to you.
If you enjoy HN, consider that if comments like yours were the norm, nobody would use this website and it would die.

Do you come on HN just to troll? Why even bother hitting the reply button if you don't have an actual reply to offer? If you enjoy HN, consider that if comments like yours were the norm, nobody would use this website and it would die.
Perhaps quibbling over an upvoted comment is a pattern that tires me.
You karma cumulative karma is around 120 if I read it correctly. Mine is 7356. I think I know how to turn a popular idiom.

>The engine of this browser is Webkit. Thank you, I looked all over their site trying to figure out which engine they were using.
My pleasure! It’s hidden in the first answer in the FAQ at the bottom.

You could just simply not reply if you think I'm not engaging in good faith, as opposed to actively sabotaging the forum with pointless trolling. What's the point?

Does it do anything that Sidebery doesn't?
An integrated experience. In the past I found that the vertical tab options in Firefox had the tabs duplicated across the side and the top, which I always found to be a subpar experience. Again, probably something you could accomplish with user.js and user.css but there's a good chance an update could break your modifications.
Using TST and have tabs hidden few years now. So although there's a chance, it certainly isn't something that happens often.

The engine of this browser is Webkit.
Anyone can slap a fancy UI on an existing engine and claim they made a browser. So many of them exist now, they don't matter anymore at all. This one will die in the crowd like every other wannabe browser. Build your own goddamn engine and then claim you made a browser, at least the Servo and Ladybird devs are doing some concrete work, not just pointless marketing and empty claims.
It's the opposite, anyone can slap an existing good engine to a bad UI that works well on many sites because it already works for some major browser. Almost no one can slap a fancy UI, and none of these newly sprangeld browsers offer any, they are way closer to the basic fails for Chrome/Firefox where even changing the default keybinds in an exercise in futility, and all the other stuff is similarly bad - for example, in this browser while the have vertical tabs, the 9to5mac example website doesn't fit the tab name and has the … symbol, which is not fancy at all on its own (fancy UI would be something like non-space-wasting fade out instead of text replacement), but also is part of the same low-density-whitespace-wasteful UI nonsense you see everwhere else - while there is enough whitespace in the tabbbar to fit whole ~two next words "...Mac Rumours breaki"
