How is UBO on Google Chrome different than Brave browser?

Context - I've used UBO on Google Chrome in the past and now using Brave browser for the last few years. I don't see much difference how web feels with UBO and Brave.



uBlock blocks ads while Brave deliberately shows you ads and gives you monopoly tokens.


I think that's opt in now:

Brave browser isn't necessarily blocking advertisements as much as it is blocking scripts that are naughty, and those naughty scripts are very popular in ads and ad networks.

And the Basic Attention Token concept is something I hope takes off since the current state of online advertising is pretty abysmal.


Brave ad blocker is not as good as UBO. You need to install UBO if you use brave.


I switched to Brave from Chromium + UBO. Despite seeing some ads, it's still comfier to use vanilla Brave than Chromium + UBO.
