The "Auto-redirect AMP pages" under Shields is actually so that if you are on a desktop and click on a link that someone has copy/pasted from their phone to you in a chat window or email, your desktop browser will auto load the desktop version of that page rather than the mobile version of that page. If you disable it, you will get the mobile version of a site on your desktop and it's not formatted for a desktop monitor.

I'm amazed that I do many of the same things in my Brave browser settings that you do. The ad blockers don't seem to work at all in the Mac version of Brave. They do work perfectly in Linux, however. Again, I will study this video at length; there are a few points that need time to sink in.
However...it's Christmas, so I'm off to sleep. I hope you and your enjoyed a "Mele Kalikimaka" today! Aloha.

One of the things that prevents me from coming 100% to Brave is the PiP Window. Looks like Brave won't allow to have multiple PiP windows open at the same time AND there is no mute button on the pip window either, like in LibreWolf.

Yo let's say an attacker has access to my whole router web page and the only thing I have access to is my own computer. In this dilemma what program's should I use to protect my pc from the attacker that has full router control. Assume that I can't do anything but use my own pc. Thank you.

Hey question what do you use for cloud storage and replacement if you do. For Google drive, Google docs etc? I find that the hardest thing because I’m a UIUX designer and I need cloud syncing capabilities for files and folders and images

Do you know why Brave doesn't recognize the microphone on some websites like google translate?
