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.
On Android you can use Firefox + uBlock Origin now
@AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml @FatCat@lemmy.world Brave may have its flaws but at least it has an offline Dino game, what does Firefox have?

Are you saying you don’t like Firefox because they don’t like propaganda?
At least on android Firefox has Google tracking built into the app among much other tracking/ads. If you don't like Brave you may want to consider a Firefox fork. On IOS Brave is the only big browser with competent adblock afaik until/unless Firefox gets extensions going.
Edit: I forgot criticizing Firefox is wrongthink on the fediverse and will get you donwnvoted no matter what. Even if it's in the context of advising people to switch FROM Brave TO a Firefox fork on Android.
I'm not sure if fennec has it, it's the core Firefox android build that is not published to the store.
Fennec doesn't have any of it (Google Analytics, Pocket, Mozilla Tracking), which is why it's my choice of mobile browser. It's on FDroid
Brave on iOS is one of the more legitimate ways of getting an ad blocker
Firefox has adblockers on mobile
Firefos add-ons don't work on iOS, I literally just googled it to ensure I was informed before writing what you wrote.

I see. Another reaffirmation in my choice to not use iphone.
I have an android from 2018, it still works great and I can run adblock on firefox, eat shit apple!
whats wrong with chromium?
It allows Google to continue controlling the Internet.
