Wish these tools were available as an extension vice browser embedded. Maybe soon.

I'm hoping at the very least it will appear as importable under the custom import lists globally in Ublock Origin soon. Keeping an eye open for it.

Hi SoulAsylum:

Thanks for the link to that Brave article.  I noticed it said that SugarCoat would be open source and that ...

"Brave will both deploy SugarCoat generated scripts this year in the Brave browser, and publish them so they can be used by other popular content blocking tools (including the previously mentioned uBlock Origin project)."

 ...so I'll be keeping an eye out on my uBlock Origin browser extension to see if and when the developer adopts this technology.  I wonder if this could mean the end of the Privacy filter lists that are currently included with uBlock Origin and other wide-spectrum content blockers like Adblock Plus, Malwarebytes Browser Guard, etc., if adopted?
