> it can be used with all the same lists as uBlock origin Can it really? I mean, you already mentioned there's "no decent UI", which I take it to mean there's no way to customize the lists in Firefox, but can it be customized in Brave? Also, can it handle the blocking of Youtube Ads as effectively as uBO does? It's been ages since I've last tried Brave, so I really want to know. I may actually try and use it as backup chromium-based browser if that's the case.

That's why it's been "quietly added", it's not ready for use. You can add lists in about:config, but this is just a super early implementation. Yes, you can adjust filter lists in Brave, including custom ones.

> can it be customized in Brave? Yes, Brave has all the same functionality as uBO. There are pre-enabled lists. You can use custom lists. You can block custom domains. etc. ![image](https://media.piefed.social/posts/LI/jh/LIjhlOHp34yJfDI.png)
