Does Brave have ad blockers as feature rich as uBlock Origin and uMatrix?


Most blockers these days use the same lists; this includes Brave. Brave also does additional work, liking inspecting the CNAME to see if the domain is an alias for a third-party, known tracker. One area where Brave is a little behind is in the aesthetic blocking, things like clearing elements off a page. We have that ability as well, but it's not quite as mature and well-rounded as you would see in something like uBO. Our work is not complete :)


Yes, and more. See https://brave.com/privacy-updates-6/ and prior posts in the series.


We support uMatrix as extension and will continue to do so even after Chrome breaks it via Manifest V3. We don't build all its powers in (yet).


uMatrix was abandoned. Did you mean uBlock Origin?
