adblock-resources VS adblock-lists

You can find them here https://github.com/brave/adblock-resources/blob/master/filter_lists/list_catalog.json

Brave utilizes a lot of sources that are uBlock. For what it´s worth. So either test/make sure that Brave Shields is set to Aggressive and/or add any additional sources you have in uBlock that are missing in Brave and check if that works better for you.

For most people, the built-in Brave ad blocker set to "Aggressive" should work perfectly fine, as it uses the same default filter lists as uBlock Origin. It also works on Android and won't be subjected to the restrictions for extensions when Google remove support for Manifest V2 – as it isn't an extension.

Brave is essentially Chrome underneath, but with the privacy invading crap removed. It's Rust-based built-in ad blocker works on Android, as well as desktop and uses the same default filter lists as uBlock Origin. It's also possible add additional filter lists from brave://adblock.

Actually Brave has more filter lists on top of uBO as you can see here so if you want those maybe you can add them to uBO as well, but I'm not sure if they're compatible. But uBO on hard mode is definitely stronger protection than Brave with these lists

The Brave Shields content blocker also works really well on Android and uses the same lists as uBlock Origin (see HERE). In the next release, they're adding more procedural cosmetic filtering improvements to their content blocker (see HERE), which will allow even more advanced content blocking. This is already working in Brave Nightly.

Okay then I can also understand that the default.json is built into the AdBlocker, so to speak, and the regional.json is what you can choose from the list in the browser?

Small update, but this has been fixed by the brave team: https://github.com/brave/adblock-lists/pull/1144. Make sure you have shields enabled, as these are applied only when it's on.

They already pushed a fix for that. (PR)

If you find unnecessary parameters (i.e. the URL doesn't break when removed) that are missing from our list (https://github.com/brave/adblock-lists/blob/master/brave-lists/clean-urls.json), you can file an issue in that repo to get it added.

After some digging, I've discovered that Brave maintains an internal adblock whitelist which, as far as I can tell, is invisible to the user: https://github.com/brave/adblock-lists/blob/master/brave-unbreak.txt

This will be addressed with https://github.com/brave/adblock-lists/pull/903

If it turns out Brave Shields blocks the script, you can as well open a Github issue over here: https://github.com/brave/adblock-lists/issues so filter lists maintainers can take a look and potentially commit a fix. That way you won't have to reduce your protection against ads and trackers by disabling Brave Shields.
