    A bunch of marketing/advertising driven crypto"currency" i.e., pyramid scheme peddlers desperate for greater fools.
    ↳ “Kill yourself.” —Bill Hicks.

    On a computer either use uBlock Origin-included LibreWolf for stability and privacy, Zen browser for power users, and on Android one can use Fennec; all of them Firefox derivatives.

      Any Brave alternative that works on iOS?

      I’ve installed brave on some familly iOS device because that’s the best I could find at the time. But hope to find a good replacement.

      I am in this path too, but not for everyone. The Firefox (and variants) in Android is ok for normal browsing but would not log into highly sensitive sites nor is recommendable for many users that are not careful with settings and updates. Brave (and others privacy friendly ones), with its flaws, it is better in that arena, so recommended for them.

      Also, we may not like it, but if we criticize company attempts to become financial viable, we are doing at disservice to our FOSS community. We should just point what you don’t like from Brave and let our audiences decide for themselves.

        use Fennec for normal browning and Tor Browser for anything of such sensitivity

        You be the judge and reviewer ;)
        I recognize it by name but I haven’t tested it or anything.

        PS My list wasn’t meant to be exhaustive, sorry for the wrong impression. I’m sure there are great other Android browsers.

          Well, I use IronFox. It’s essentially a fork of the now-discontinued, Firefox-based Mull browser. It’s a privacy and security oriented browser. It’s not on F-Droid, afaik, but it’s on the Accrescent store

            It is available on F-Droid, if you add its repository. QR code here: https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox
