Will Brave, which is based in Chromium, still block ads? Since they are changing Chromium, I don't think so.

It depends on the country. Brazil, due to its hyperinflation days, has a lot of indexed prices. These are prices that automatically increase due to inflation. This makes the country to have so called inertial inflation, current inflation caused by past inflation, and also makes it more robust to a higher inflation.

No other country can like a sport this boring.

This guy is crippling a top notch device he paid good money for. This is crazy.

This isn't a personal problem. It is a social one, and there lies the solution. These apps are engineered for addiction, to Dubai our attention and lives. The companies behind them should br punished and their employees ashamed.

Society must curb socially and environmental nocive organizations.

Does anyone has experience with Android e-ink ebook readers? Are they worth it?

Brazilian Government just released a great public library of e-books: https://meclivros.mec.gov.br/

An Android e-ink reader would be perfect for it. And I'd use kindle app to read my kindle ebooks. But I don't really see people using them.
