Brave is an odd one. They've publicly stated[1] they plan to support parts of Manifest v2 for a handful of popular addons (uBlock Origin included) by making limited patches, but they make no promises.

It seems Shields was their main focus for MV3 mitigation, much like Vivaldi's now native content blocker made for the same reason (though Vivaldi has said[2] they won't be supporting MV2 past the last Chromium build that includes it).

Why use uBlock on Brave when Brave already blocks ads natively?


uBlock does have some things that are pretty unique, and useful outside of ads for some websites. Element Zapper is a good example. https://github.com/gorhill/ublock/wiki/Element-zapper


Does brave also block YouTube ads like ublock origin does?
