Why did you chose Brave to begin with? Serious question, not being snarky. I tried it for a day and it just didn't compete with Firefox + uBlock Origin in any meaningful way. I don't see the appeal of bundling advanced security and filtering tools with the browser, it's better if they're separate entities, keeps everyone honest.

    I've taught multiple people in my life to use brave. The vast majority of end users simply can't be bothered to install a plugin or understand how to manage it when a site breaks. Brave makes it just a little more intuitive for them and means less IT calls for me. Firefox with ublock is what I personally use. Brave is what my family uses.

    Brave is just as likely to "break" a site as uBO, what do they do then?

    Brave has a button right next the task bar they can use to toggle off controls. I know ublock is stupid simple to do that too but the extra step of going to plugins then settings has lost people in my experience.

    uBlock has a button next to the search bar, you can hide it, but I'm pretty sure it's shown by default. It's 2 clicks, but it's just the shield icon (which I'm just realizing has uO on it instead of uBO, is that the official abbreviation?) then a big ass Power button. Either way, in my experience, anyone I try to set up with anything other than Edge, ends up back on it within a month because the dark patterns work and they get tricked into it :(
