Privacy Badger is not recommended these days. It actually makes you more fingerprintable in some cases. Its better to use in-browser anti fingerprinting.

Brave's adblock is actually based on the filtering used by ublock (check out the filter list pages for both browsers!). However, it is inferior to ublock on Firefox (or librewolf) as there is more sophisticated CNAME uncloaking (among other things) on FF/LW.

Care to detail how Firefox/ublock is better than brave in CNAME uncloaking?

Can do. Please refer to the below post on the uBlock Origin maintainers site: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...

that is about chrome comparison which can NOT do CNAME-uncloaking.

Brave does do CNAME-uncloaking.

I thought you were saying firefox CNAME-uncloaking is somehow better than brave's.

Brave is inferior to Firefox with uBlock Origin. In my experience advertisers get around Brave's blocker more often.

Or you can run those two with Brave and not use Brave's built-in shields as much.

On desktop you can also add your own lists to braves filters and even create your own if you so wish.

Can't do that on mobile.
