No heavy ads block

How to Reproduce?

Actual behaviour

Hello, I already talked about it but I thought it was a bug in Ungoogled chromium and not in chromium but I just discovered that this catastrophic bug also concerns chromium!

I thought chromium blocked by default and natively heavy ads and crypto mining

https://blog.chromium.org/2020/05/resource-heavy-ads-in-chrome.html

but I just discovered that chromium does not block heavy ads despite this option is implemented and integrated by default in chromium, and I tested with this site:

https://heavy-ads.glitch.me/

and regular classic version of chromium in woolyss site does not block heavy crypto ads and i test with microsoft edge browser and it blocks heavy ads, but Ungoogled chromium browser does not block heavy ads it is an important option and i don't see more interest to use chromium if such important option does not work, please it will be great to activate this important option, thank you very much :)

Expected behaviour

Block heavy ads

Is it a duplicate of #1944?

No, beacause there is new information and possible solution about the bug and the bug was classified in "discussion tag" however this is a big bug, i said " I already talked about it but I thought it was a bug in Ungoogled chromium" but i discover this now it is bug in CHROMIUM BROWSER with API of chrome enabled , so i find possible solution and a line of thought, the bug is in chromium upstream, if this bug is resolved in chromium, it will be solved in ungoogled chromium , this new subject, i talk about chromiumbrowser, so the solution is to contact chromium tems developers to find why heavy ads are not blocked , this is strange , this feature seems to be reserved for mainstream browsers

@PF4Public I do not have the technical skills to discuss with them, at leat chromium has this ad blocker enabled, but ungoogled chromium does not have this native ad block, why ? there will bemigration to manifest v3 and many adblocker will be weak perhaps so native ad block may be useful

I'm not sure why the native adblocker is removed / not present, but at the current moment, it's far inferior to uBlock Origin. (I use Bromite with the native adblocker on mobile and the difference is very noticeable.)

I think the future situation with Manifest v3 is up in the air. A lot of discussion has happened over at #662: the consensus seems to be that maintaining a patch for Manifest v2 is a lot of work; there doesn't seem to be a consensus on whether the ungoogled project has enough manpower to do so. uBlock Origin's future is also uncertain going forward: I don't know whether they would maintain a version just for Brave (which is keeping v2) and Ungoogled Chromium. They probably would, there are a fair amount of Brave users and the maintenance burden would not be high.

tl;dr idk, but ublock origin's better for now

also, i agree that this is a duplicate / out of scope.

@j-james this not duplicate, this is the most important feature of web browser specially with manfest v3 and possiblity that adblocking will become more diffcult, son we hope several tests and verification of the Ungoogled-chromium community to be certain that there is a native adblock, because the blocking rules of this native adblock are made by google and perhaps Ungoogled -Chromium does not like to use rules made by google so this option must be checked if it is active or not
