Don't. Brave has so many problematic sides. Just stay away from that one.
Go on?
And, the business concept of blocking other people's ads and showing you their own is pretty despicable in its own right.
I am dumbfounded that uBlock Origin, arguably the single most important extension in modern web browsing, and one that makes millions of lives easier by making their web experience bearable at all, all of this depends on one single person, working for free. Now there's also the list maintainers, who also work for free. Still makes you wonder about how the world works. There's probably many other similar instances. In…
Also it's recommended[0] to install uMatrix[1] or eMatrix[2] side-by-side with uBlock Origin.

Too bad it only targets Chrome webextensions. No support for people still using the Firefox version of Firefox instead of the modern Chrome style Firefox.

Try to watch a playlist on Youtube without a add blocker. Its insane the length and amount of commercials. A add blocker save you much more then 10 secs a day.
You can pay for a YouTube premium account which doesn't have ads.

You can always do a direct ad deal if it's the right niche. Better privacy for your users and it's impossible to block.

So he added an ad to his site and it got added to a list of ads. What's noteworthy here, besides the fact that he doesn't understand what ad blockers are for? This is the whole point of those filter lists. Otherwise I would have to remove his ad manually, which is undesirable.
AdBlock should be about making the internet tolerable again instead of the cesspit it's slowly becoming, but it's exasterbating the problem.
Troy made a step in the right direction.

There are definitely a few OSS that don't get anymore as much love as they deserve. VLC and OBS are two example of programs that are so damn good, even paid alternatives hardly can compete.
MPC-HC and mpv are much better than VLC.
