Add the website to a list you want unshielded always (if you trust it) or just do it once. Either is simple.
Ah, excellent.
I’ve tweaked a few more settings - so far, I’m liking Brave quite a lot. Likely my biggest complaint is having the sidebar pop up if I drift slightly too far to the right when using the vertical scroll bar. But, I like having the sidebar on the left less - at least so far.
Brave’s whacking of ads en-masse on YouTube is wonderful! I can listen to a long song without an ad interrupting it! And most any ad beleaguered page seems to load much faster.
