BRAVE Web Browser : How much advertisements I blocked in a week ?

Hello friends, herewith first I am sharing screen shots of my brave browser dashboard that I captured over a week from 30 Jan 2021 to 6 Feb 2021.The screen shots I have taken pertain to morning hours whenever I login for the day. I am generally on my PC for about 8-9 hours a day. I majorly watch YouTube videos and surf across multiple sites in a day that range from 50-100 at times. So what I am bringing out here that how many ads Brave browser has blocked in this duration and whilst this surfing times.

30 Jan 2021 : 70517 blocked : Counter 0

 31 Jan 2021 : 77744 blocked : Counter 7227  in day( i.e. 30 Jan 2021)

01 Feb 2021 : 92342 blocked : Counter 14598  in day( i.e. 31 Jan 2021)

02 Feb 2021 : 97440 blocked : Counter 5098  in day( i.e. 01 Feb 2021)

03 Feb 2021 : 105386 blocked : Counter 7946  in day( i.e. 02 Feb 2021)

04 Feb 2021 : 108354 blocked : Counter 2968  in day( i.e. 03 Feb 2021)

05 Feb 2021 : 112036 blocked : Counter 3682  in day( i.e. 04 Feb 2021)

06 Feb 2021 : 114870 blocked : Counter 2834  in day( i.e. 05 Feb 2021)

So,total ads blocked over a week is 44353 that deduces to approx average of 6336 ads/day. That's phenomenal to say. Each of these trackers would be definitely linked to thousands of other trackers also giving them unrestricted access to all the user behavior ,privacy and profiles. While there is not much a normal user can do about these trackers, I feel just blocking these thousands of ads will not make any one absolutely free of tracking,but still better than surfing without blockers. Because if the ad companies know that users are blocking by means of plugins and such browsers,they would have already found ways to still track you. After all that's their means of living and minting economy.

DISCONNECT.ME in Incognito mode

I asked the site owner at disconnect.me of how to use this plugin while surfing in privacy/incognito mode since I use incognito all the time...its default....i got this reply


Hey Anupam, you have to explicitly enable extension to run in 
incognito mode in Chrome. Right- or Ctrl-click the "d" button, pick 
"Manage extensions...", click the arrow next to Disconnect, and check
the "Allow in incognito" box.

Thanks disconnect.me

DISCONNECT URSELF

1.  The issue of privacy browsing is a growing worry for  internet users including me.Various attempts in form of third party utilities,browsers offering incognito/privacy mode have been made and are being made in the current webosphere.In the search for handling these issues I recently came across this plugin...DISCONNECT.ME at http://disconnect.me/

2.   Next is straight lift extract from the site :

If you’re a typical web user, you’re unintentionally sending your browsing and search history with your name and other personal information to third parties and search engines whenever you’re online.


Take control of the data you share with Disconnect!.


From the developer of the top-10-rated Facebook Disconnect extension, Disconnect lets you:


• Disable tracking by third parties like Digg, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Yahoo, without requiring any setup or significantly degrading the usability of the web.


• Truly depersonalize searches on search engines like Google and Yahoo (by blocking identifying cookies not just changing the appearance of results pages), while staying logged into other services — e.g., so you can search anonymously on Google and access iGoogle at once.


• See how many resource and cookie requests are blocked, in real time.


• Easily unblock services, by clicking the toolbar button then services (and reloading current pages) — e.g., so you can play games on Facebook.


To learn more about online privacy and protecting yourself and find out when additional browsers are supported, subscribe to the Disconnect Newsletter at http://disconnectere.com/.


Disconnect is open-source software — you can get the code at http://j.mp/dsource.


Known Issues:


• The scary installation warning is explained at http://j.mp/dinstall (the text refers to Facebook Disconnect but also applies to Disconnect).


• Click the “d” button then the “Depersonalize searches” checkbox to turn search depersonalization on (or back off in case you have trouble getting to Google or Yahoo services).


• Search depersonalization isn’t yet implemented for international Google domains — google.fr, google.co.jp, et cetera.


• Yahoo has to be unblocked while you’re logging into Flickr or Delicious but can be blocked again afterwards.


• Unblocking Facebook isn’t possible while Facebook Disconnect is running — that extension will be autoupdated to be compatible with Disconnect in the next few days.


• You should unblock Google and Yahoo before disabling or uninstalling Disconnect — doing so will restore your cookies to their original state.
