  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

        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

      Firefos add-ons don’t work on iOS, I literally just googled it to ensure I was informed before writing what you wrote.

    I’ve been using Safari + AdGuard for a while and I don’t remember seeing any ad.

  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.

    Safari + AdGuard gave me no issues so far.

    I’m not sure if fennec has it, it’s the core Firefox android build that is not published to the store.

    source

    • elwy@fedit.io ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

  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.

  • tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There are crypto ads involved in the product though? Fuck that, even if it was default off

    • Samueru@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.
