macOS browser recommendations

trilobyte:

Consider using next dns filters (my.nextdns.io) if you want more filtering.

It is also of not that official Privacy Guides recommendations state that you should use the default filter lists for Brave:

Brave allows you to select additional content filters within the internal brave://adblock page. We advise against using this feature; instead, keep the default filter lists. Using extra lists will make you stand out from other Brave users and may also increase attack surface if there is an exploit in Brave and a malicious rule is added to one of the lists you use.

And be selective in your inclusion of filter lists in UblockOrigin:

Additional filter lists can impact performance and may increase attack surface.

These are some other filter lists that you may want to consider adding:

However, both Brave’s internal adblocker and UblockOrigin share a set of compatible filter lists, and in my opinion there are several extra filters which can be added via either channel which can improve browsing quality of life, and block extra unwanted or malicious content.

I have not used MacOS before so I can not give any recommendations there, but Brave is a good recommendation for Android with cross device(and platform) sync, including MacOS.

With regard to using UblockOrigin vs Braves internal adblocker, I do not belied there is really a direct benefit or draw back to either approach, though since you are using Android also, it may make sense to stick with the internal adblocker over UblockOrigin for more “synchronized” filter and rulesets.

Also as as @Valynor said, if you do use UblockOrigin in Brave desktop, you should disable Brave’s internal adblocking so as to not cause conflicts.
