Not really, sadly. google is going at this whole their-internet-ads-everywhere by several routes. Neither DNS blockers like AdGuard or google MV3 compliant browser (google chromium & firefox and soft forks) extensions, google web extensions, will work because they can't block first party hosted ads. Things that are a part of the site itself. Embedded into it. google is also pushing their Shadow/DOM (and nested module/import functions) "standard" which will turn all sites into a single packet. One in which you can't modify individual elements, because the whole of the thing is the element.
Since smartphones are google android or walled garden & closed source apple, there's really no workaround on them. I don't use a smartphone personally. On Desktop you can use Pale Moon or Basilisk browser though. They use the superior UXP addons, evolved from XUL.
No mention of le lion shill browser? Brave has in-build adblocking... though I usually throw Ublock on it as well to catch what slips through the cracks.
Brave is a google chromium soft fork browser. Their built-in adblocker works through both DNS blocking and MV2 WebRequest blocking elements. Neither will work when they update to MV3.
They could stay on an old version of google chromium and do a hard fork. However, that would bring out cries of "old browser, out of date" by its nay-sayers. They could also switch browser "engine" (not back to their original firefox one, since that will also be affected by MV3), but there's not much competition there.. FF is basically chromium-lite today. There is Pale Moon and Basilisk though. Powered by Goanna, instead of Gecko (firefox) or blink (chromium). There's also Web Kit (Safari), but it's what blink (chromium) forked off of..
Keep on as they are. DNS blocking and MV3 compliant "declarativeNetRequest" instead of "webrequest". Almost every other browser will be similarly affected, so it'll be "par for the course/just the way it is".. sadly.
If the ads are first-party, I assume Google is financially and morally liable for any harms caused by the advertisements they serve. If they're not running third-party code, I will treat the ads as an annoyance instead of a threat, at least on their own platforms.

Couldn’t Brave update the browser to handle the MV3 update? Or will this require a browser they build from scratch?

exactly this.
