Depends on what block lists you use and how aggressive you want the filtering to be. I’ve been using Brave for a while and tested it with and without uBO. With Brave Shield set to aggressive blocking (what I higly recommend) it blocked about 99,5 of all the stuff uBO would block.

The Brave ad blocker is based on uBlock Origin, AFAIK, so no, you don’t need it.
Not sure why you’re getting downvotes because you’re essentially correct. Their adblocker is written in rust and they say it’s based off uBO.
is it not open source?
It is! https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust
No, but you better ditch brave and set up Firefox. They did some shady shit in the past and tried to deny or cover it up.

Librewolf is probably a safer choice.
Lots of Firefox fanboys on here I see…

This is the right answer.
On mobile?
Mulch, focus on security (same as Bromite), OE Mull, focus on privacy, both can be installed from F-Droid
Fennec (Firefox for Android) with uBlock and NoScript
Mull and Tor browser for android, Librewolf and Tor browser for PC
Mull is basically LibreWolf on mobile, even has uBlock in the add-on’s too!
And it’s based on Chromium which does the open web no favors.
No.

Copy-paste:
Anyway, the best browser for privacy is always Firefox, you need to customize the settings and add add-ons for this purpose, then it’s even more powerful than Brave.
