Brave has a built-in ad blocker (Brave Shields). Many users choose to install Stands as a secondary layer for better YouTube ad skipping and "Acceptable Ads" removal.
Installation: Download directly from the Chrome Web Store.
Optimizing for Brave
To avoid "double-processing" (which can slow down page loads), some users prefer to:
Click the Brave Shield icon in the address bar.
Lower "Trackers & ads blocking" to Standard or Disabled for specific sites where you want Stands to handle the ad blocking.
