As a reminder, Brave was created by the guy who brought you JavaScript and was later fired from Mozilla for donating to hate groups. Brave also profits from multiple forms of fraud including NFTs and affiliate hijacking.

If folk want to have a chromium-based browser made by a company, take a look at Vivaldi instead ~~(which will keep the old plugin architecture, so adblockers work)~~. It has a limited built-in blocker and extra features, but for now still runs uBlock.

I have Vivaldi on my android but I do not know how to get adblock working. Is it even possible?

Firefox mobile has Ublock Origin and works great. Even on YouTube.

Menu -> Settings -> Tracker and Ad Blocking -> Block Trackers and Ads

Thanks. I quickly tried it on YouTube and did get an ad. So I guess it doesn't work on those. Bummer.

Edit. Tried it some more and did not get any more ads. It takes a little to get the video playing but other that 10/10. No ad experience. Awesome.
