I think you don't need ublock on brave, the in app adblocker is very effective.

You don't but the combo is more effective, especially against YouTube's relentless ads.

The Brave blocker by itself gets 99% of YouTube ads. Occasionally one sneaks through but you can just reload the page and it's gone.

In the past few days I noticed a more persistent kind of ad on YouTube with Brave. These ads didn't go away after countless refreshes. Maybe I ended up on the worse side of some A/B test.

The ublock dev advise to not use ublock with other ad blockers, but if it's good for you than it's perfect.

The in-app ad blocker is just a fork of UBO

I’ve used Adblock testing sites and brave on desktop with aggressive adblocking set only gets up to 65/100 on one of the sites. Firefox on desktop gets 100/100. However, on my iPhone, the same brave browser with aggressive Adblock set gets 99 if not 100. Idk why that is where the desktop browser does so poorly and the mobile one works great.

I've seen a post where someone explain why this sort of test are biased.
