Brave’s adblocker is not an extension, but rather implemented natively, and thus isn’t under extension restrictions, like e.g. It won’t be affected by Google’s decision to cripple adblockers with Manifest V3. Brave’s internal adblocker will also continue to work as it does no uninterrupted. It is the only Chromium-based browser that can do CNAME uncloaking (see the article this comment here appears under).

It is the only Chromium-based browser with credible fingerprinting protections: You can read about the things the Brave team removed here: This is far superior to Chrome or vanilla Chromium. Why do I use Brave? Basically, because Brave removes unsolicited requests to Google from Chromium, the only times it contacts Google by itself it to update extensions (if you have any) or Google SafeBrowsing (unless you disable it) and Push notifications (unless you disable them). This setup is meant to strike a good balance between privacy and usability, and tries to debloat the browser. Here is my own Brave setup for anyone interested, as of December 11th, 2020.
