I wonder if Brave's built in ad blocker will still function as normal?
It should, yeah. Brave maintains its own version of UBO and a few other MV2 extensions because the users want them, but they say the built in blocker is a perfectly viable replacement for those extensions. I've always used UBO on top of the built in blocker so I'm not in a position evaluate that claim, but I've been less than impressed at how the two interact. Breakages are hard to diagnose and simply disabling the built in blocker doesn't really help. It also just feels less clean and smooth than letting UBO do all the work. Maybe this will be a blessing in disguise for me. I know UBO's developer said the extension works best with Firefox anyway.
At the very least I haven't run any extra blockers on Brave like I do on other browsers, and that plus DNS level ad blocking, I pretty much never see advertisements. So theirs is at least effective.
