Will Brave, which is based in Chromium, still block ads? Since they are changing Chromium, I don't think so.

The ones Brave choose to block, sure. You're going to end up with the same problem eventually.

  In my experience they're sometimes a little too aggressive and I have to disable the "shields" for the page to function correctly. I have never seen an add while using Brave and that's after 1.5 million trackers blocked and 50 gb bandwidth "saved". The only browser I would switch to away from Brave is one that, as was described by another user in here, sandboxes all pages/domains and ensures that no data leaks outside unless you are actively allowing it. Think Qubes OS but for browsers. I imagine a nice "drag this domain-box into the Facebook domain blob of a tree structure to allow linking and sharing of data" would be a cool feature. That would make it easy to select and confirm which FAANG company gets your data on which domain.

Pretty sure Brave shields isn't based on an extension API so it shouldn't be affected. Have people actually noticed worse performance from uBlock Origin lite? This article isn't nuanced enough. Ad blockers will continue to work.

  I mostly use ublock origin light on my work laptop for YouTube and I've never seen an ad.

  I have noticed it to be slightly worse, mostly on "bad" sites. Just using Brave at this point though.

  I'm still confused about what makes uBlock Origin Lite less powerful than uBlock Origin. I don't use it or Chrome in any case, but I would prefer to understand the difference.

I mentioned this above, but Brave both includes its own ad blocking engine and has also added support for the MV2 version of UBo to the core engine. https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/ https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/
