GM 🤠🤙 great news 👀
Nice! Is this similar to Brave's adblocker?
Brave has a bit more going for it, options for extra filter lists etc. The lists we use are ones Brave uses by default though, but not all. This is only the initial implementation right now.
GM 💯
How do you access the Vanadium config app?
VanadiumConfig is not a traditional "app" but rather a split APK that makes up the filtering config for Vanadium itself. This is so if we update VanadiumConfig, it can update without requiring the whole browser. GmsCompatConfig and AppCompatConfig work the same way.
This is the initial build of ad blocking and it definitely could have room for improvement in the future.
This is great news, I want more privacy features in vanadium
