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.

This is not a helpful comment ๐Ÿ˜„ 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

Crypto buttons as an opt-out feature for every Reddit link.

If you still trust them, I have no hope for you.

That's good to see a comment with a link, that's what helps people make informed decisions, not simple statements of opinion.
