I've taught multiple people in my life to use brave. The vast majority of end users simply can't be bothered to install a plugin or understand how to manage it when a site breaks. Brave makes it just a little more intuitive for them and means less IT calls for me. Firefox with ublock is what I personally use. Brave is what my family uses.
Brave is just as likely to "break" a site as uBO, what do they do then?
Brave has a button right next the task bar they can use to toggle off controls. I know ublock is stupid simple to do that too but the extra step of going to plugins then settings has lost people in my experience.
uBlock has a button next to the search bar, you can hide it, but I'm pretty sure it's shown by default. It's 2 clicks, but it's just the shield icon (which I'm just realizing has uO on it instead of uBO, is that the official abbreviation?) then a big ass Power button. Either way, in my experience, anyone I try to set up with anything other than Edge, ends up back on it within a month because the dark patterns work and they get tricked into it :(
Huh... That's an interesting idea. Best argument for brave I've heard too
