> Their adblocker is just a fork of uBlock Origin,

This does not appear to be true. Here is the github repo for their open source adblock engine written in rust:

https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust

Here is a (somewhat dated) article describing it by the authors:

https://brave.com/improved-ad-blocker-performance/

> Google will take decisions that benefit their advertisement business, like making impossible to use adblockers on any Chromium based browser.

Because the brave adblocker is integrated directly into the browser (ie. not an extension) the Manifest V3 limitations don't apply.
