Brave is just as likely to "break" a site as uBO, what do they do then?
Brave has a button right next the task bar they can use to toggle off controls. I know ublock is stupid simple to do that too but the extra step of going to plugins then settings has lost people in my experience.
uBlock has a button next to the search bar, you can hide it, but I'm pretty sure it's shown by default. It's 2 clicks, but it's just the shield icon (which I'm just realizing has uO on it instead of uBO, is that the official abbreviation?) then a big ass Power button. Either way, in my experience, anyone I try to set up with anything other than Edge, ends up back on it within a month because the dark patterns work and they get tricked into it :(
