Are you looking to block advertisements in the Brave browser? Learn how to activate the built-in ad-blocking feature.

The Brave browser has a built-in ad blocker that eliminates advertisements from websites.

In this guide, we have shared the steps to manage the ad blocker to stop ads in the Brave Browser.
