You can’t disable it entirely, but you also shouldn’t have to. If you navigate to Settings --\> Default Shields Settings, you can configure Brave to “Allow all” or "not block"whatever you’d like. But you should be able to run Brave’s Shields alongside another ad blocker if you’d like. ---

Hi, Thx for the fast reply! At this point i use vivaldi but i wanna come to brave but 2 things are stopping me. first of all the adblocker in it but that question is already answerd. Another thing is the default ad blocker to be trusted to use without another one i know the android version of brave is one of the best browser there is for my phone but for pc i dunno. The second one is Sync cause i dont know how to use it cause its a weird system without signing in with an emailadres or username . thx in advance ---

Is there a particular reason you don’t want to use Brave’s Shields (ad blocker/protections)? > [@Soxa](#): > > The second one is Sync cause i dont know how to use it cause its a weird system without signing in with an emailadres or username . Sync is currently only available in beta versions of the browser right now as it’s still undergoing heavy testing. Do you have the Beta or were you just asking about how Sync works in general? ---
