Edit: I was wrong. See below.

Original comment: Brave's built in blocker is OK for what it does but I believe that it only replaces a subset of all uBO's features. For example I don't think that Brave's built in blocker has an element picker that lets you create cosmetic filters on the fly. I use that feature all the time in uBO.

Click the Brave shield icon, then select advanced controls, then at the very bottom you'll see "Block Element".

I haven't used it enough to know if it works like the uBlock one, but at least it is there.

Brave does have an element picker for creating cosmetic filters. It even works on Android, I just tried it.

You're right, I just found the option on desktop in the right-click context menu. According to some posts I've just found in the community forums, the feature was launched years ago but for some reason I had never noticed it even though Brave used to be my default browser until recently
