The fact that its main 2 gimmicks are a shitty ad blocker and integrated cryptocurrency should be enough of a red flag, honestly. Just use Firefox, people!
I am using Brave on iOS mainly because of its superb YouTube support - It has a built in ad block, can download videos offline and play minimized. Is there any way I can achieve this with any other browser? I would switch immediately.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but i believe that’s because it’s not really Firefox, everything on apple devices is forced to use safari, all you do with the “Firefox” installation is change the ui.
You are not wrong, no correction needed. However, their “Firefox Go” browser blocks ads, so it’s a little annoying that the full browser doesn’t. I only really use brave for YouTube on it anyway. Firefox I still use for normal browsing there and everywhere else.

I downloaded it just yesterday, and I uninstalled it after reading this article. Back to Firefox for me!

If you want to swap teams, Android has Revanced. Otherwise I don’t think so.
Firefox doesn’t block ads on my iPad. Only reason I still use brave

You can install add-ons, at least on the android version. One of them is Ublock!
Firefox is significantly slower though…
Not really that significant when you’re using it, I promise. I’m usually all for speed, but FF has better functionality than the competition.
Speed is significant though. “Functionality” (whatever you mean by that) is less important.
Built-in features are much better, respects privacy (compared to Google), add-ons have more possibilities, etc.
No fuck Mozilla
