Can I get it on F-Droid or is it only on Google Play?
Just go for Mull + uBlock Origin.
what about Firefox and Ublock?
That works too, but mull is more private. It's configurations are what we call "hardened".
You can get the FFUpdater app from F-Droid, then use that to install Brave to your phone. But at that point, you may as well just use FFUpdater to install the much better alternative, Firefox, which doesn't indirectly support Chromium engine dominance and doesn't have that weird crypto crap Brave has.
Edit: Someone else replied to you suggesting Mull, which is also downloadable through the FFUpdater app.
Currently using Firefox and Ublock origin on mobile now that they brought extensions over
ublock origin on firefox mobile has been a thing for years. same for decentraleyes and darkreader. the recent change affects other extensions.
What I thought was that Mobile had it's own built-in adblocking. I specifically remember being able to add the extension in a way I wasn't able to a few months ago recently.
yes: Firefox Mobile supported extensions for years, but only mobile-specific extensions, which was limited to Darkreader, uBlock, Decentraleyes and a couple more.
the new change is that Firefox Mobile will support all desktop extensions, though I'm not sure if it's implemented just yet
