Good news! Brave for Android now let’s u use your favorite uBlock Origin Blocklists!
Under Settings > Brave Shields & privacy
Can you now add custom filterlists and edit Brave’s default selection of the already avaible filterlists. Some of you now that this was possible before too (via brave://adblock) but at this time it had no UI and wasn’t a official feature, now you can easily add, remove and customize fiterlists via the the settings.
Don’t use Brave.
This is not a helpful comment 😄 give some reasons, don’t expect people to simply listen to a statement of opinion.
Brave is notoriously dubious at best, encouraging ads and cryptocurrencies. It doesn’t have any advantages over a hardened Firefox (and I would say even a basic one), so using it doesn’t really make sense.
The problem is i would really love using Firefox but i need weird addons and Firefox just doesn’t have them, for example chromegle
Oh look, the website is owned and maintained by a Brave employee.
Oh look, you’re stupid and I don’t mean this as a insult, is just fact. You can verify each of this points yourself. Also he worked before for Firefox and the Tor Project too, like he told Techlore in a Interview.
Fairly widely known. Doesnt change the data presented.
Owned by a Brave engineer, so of course brave looks better there. Do not trust that site.

Thats true, but introducing ads or crypto is not morally evil or a reason to not use a browser for most. It is the data collection that can accompany the ads or crypto transactions that’s the problem for most of us. What are the details on how the ads or crypto currency is currently handled in Brave? That might be a good reason not to use it.
It does have advantages over hardened Firefox, as chrome has better security features than Firefox (as the grapheneOS devs love to remind people). I don’t like it, but it’s true. Someone who’s threat model prioritizes security over privacy is going to want a chrome based browser.
I’ll add a reason against using it that I feel strongly about, it furthers the chromium webview monopoly that nearly every modern browser is a part of. I’ll stick with Firefox for that reason alone personally.
