XF 2.3 how to disable brave?

[interforo]

My users are using the Brave browser to block ads.
Is there a way, at the XenForo (XF) code level, to prevent access from Brave and redirect those users to a message page?

Not with the in house options of the software. It will require an add-on.

If you can identify Brave safely by the user agent it submits you can set up a redirect rule in .htaccess that redirects these requests to whereever you want or block them completely.
However: As the user agent can be manually set in mosts browsers in one way or another this is not w/o possibility to get around.
