It only works because no-one* is developing to Brave. If Chrome tried that, it would be reverse-engineered or otherwise worked-around.

Brave uses Easylist/uBO Cookies list. Everyone develops for it.

If that was true, then Easylist/uBO Cookies list wouldn't work, as the thing they're blocking would have been developed not to be blockable by those things.

What wouldn't work? there is a mix of scriplets, css and network blocks.
