CLUSTER ADS-BLOCKS-BROWSER · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2016-04-06

Ad-blocking browser release channels

The cluster consists of web browsers that block ads and trackers by default, differentiated by release channels (stable, beta, nightly) and one variant adding AI features and creator rewards. Only four dated entries exist before the index period, so the timeline shape is too thin to read, and traction is led by the Brave stable, beta, and nightly builds, each with zero activity stars.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
