What are the best settings for Shields?

Brave is optimized by default, but if you want stronger protection, here are some recommended settings. Keep in mind that enabling too many content filters or rules can cause websites to break or result in performance issues.

  1. Go to Settings → Shields and set Trackers & Ads Blocking to Aggressive.
  2. Set Block Cookies to Block third-party cookies.
  3. Set Upgrade connections to HTTPS to Strict.
  4. Under Content Filtering, enable Fanboy’s Annoyances + uBO Annoyances.

If experiencing ads on YouTube despite the settings above, try to also enable Brave Experimental Adblock Rules
