    Brave is garbage. It’s a cryptoscam adscam browser based on Chrome. For the love of god, use Firefox (or Vivaldi if you absolutely need chromium)

      I can’t say I disagree, I’ve long abandoned it on my PC.

      But Brave has superb AdBlocking capabilities compared to every other browser for iPhone, so I’m still using it on my phone.

        It is the same on android, it even lets me watch youtube vids without ads and in the background.

            Las time I could not watch youtube vids in the background in firefox.

            I also had trouble getting files that download multiple files at once to work on firefox.

      Brave on iOS is one of the more legitimate ways of getting an ad blocker

      Brave is great, has configurable keybinds, nice default adblock block list, vertical tabs, syncing sessions without email, etc.

      And on android it can play youtube vids on the background.

      The crypto ads just get disabled on the new tab page, you don’t even have to go to the settings lol. And vivaldi is partially closed source btw.

          Brave is an interesting case, they found a way to make money that doesn’t involve tracking their users, making deals with google or be closed source lol

          If you hate that fine, I definitely prefer that than the other alternatives lol.
