The Brave browser has been updated to version 1.31.87. This update to the Release channel rolled out on October 21, 2021.

Brave 1.31.87

Brave 1.31.87 has made a significant enhancement to the adblock, namely it now offers the chance to add custom filter lists. You will also find the WDP (Web Discovery Project) and adaptive CAPTCHA. There is also an interesting feature for removing the Brave User-Agent when you’re on the DuckDuckGo domain. The Chromium foundation that the browser runs on has also been updated to version 95.0.4638.54, so you get all of the latest security enhancements that come with that update as well.
