Brim type similar to skirt
Hello, is it possible to add a brim to look like a skirt? Here's the picture of what I mean. I added the skirt, but will it be good enough to prevent corner warping as brim?
If I enable brim for outer walls only, I get brim also on the inside, which I don't want.

Skirt and brim have different functions - whilst brim is to help adhesion a skirt is intended to help protect the layers printed so far from drafts and so reduce warping stresses. You can use both if you wish. Corner warping is sometimes preventable with 'Mickey Mouse ears' - helper-discs in the Prusa Gallery.

Can you show us an example? The picture you posted doesn't show any internal brim..?
Cheerio,

In the first picture I used skirt, in the second one I used brim for only external walls.

Yes, skirt ignores the walls and draws the shortest barrier around the vertices. The brim looks correct in that example.

You have to understand the difference between what is external and internal walls. Diem is 100% correct that the brim is accurate. It is ONLY around external walls. The only areas that are entirely enclosed are the 'holes' Note there are no brims in those areas. If you change to both external and internal then those would also get brim.
If you want to control it then you will need to add in enclosing meshes to make the entire area a single perimeter.
