Are you claiming that ad blocking is a MITM attack?

No. Brave browser hijacks webpages that you view and injects their own adverts onto the webpage.

The webpage you requested is not the webpage you are shown, because of the man-in-the-middle attack.

The ads are notifications. They aren’t injected into the page.

You clearly have never used Brave.
