I just switched back to Brave after using Firefox for a couple years. I switched away from Brave over the Manifest V3 thing but it turns out they're preserving compatibility with V2 extensions and their built-in shields have gotten pretty good at blocking most things without even needing uBO. I had lots of little issues with Firefox that are like known-issues that have been around for years or things I haven't been able to find solutions to, so I was glad to switch back. Brave isn't perfect either, but.
The thing about braves adblock is, it ain't customizable at all. For sites that are constantly changing, with Firefox and ublock, you can somewhat debug whats wrong. With brave, you'll have to wait for an update on their end.
Huh, I didn't think about that. But I can just install uBO and disable the built-in ones if it ever becomes a problem, right? I thought I saw an option about disabling them.
