iOS Firefox the same though.
replyThanks Apple for inflicting the Safari monopoly to all iOS users.
replyBrave said they will be keeping its functionality.
replyBrave has certainly said a lot of good things while doing quite [0] a lot [1] of bad [2] things [3] that make me think it's mostly just marketing to lower-knowledge users that's carrying it forward. I see so many 'privacy' influencers that recommend it and Chromium, and then Firefox with no mention of FOSS options like LibreWolf, Tor Browser, IronFox, etc

Yep, I don't trust Brave. A web browser holds so much power over your digital life that it cannot be entrusted to a company that consistently and egregiously compromises its ethics for profit. Most of these examples border on scam behaviour... par for the course for the cryptocurrency space!
replyFor all their faults, Mozilla has never done anything that holds a candle to the kinds of stunts Brave keeps pulling.
Which is even more noteworthy because Brave is led by an ex-CEO and influential top exec of Mozilla's.
replyI wonder if he'd have done the same at Mozilla.
All valid.
replyI'm a Firefox user.
Depending on money from Google is worse than the aggregate of Brave behavior, for me.
Brave also has native rust based psudo reimplementation of ublock, so it also doesnt necessarily need the functionality to accomplish what most people end up needing it for.
replyBrave and Vivaldi built their own blockers, they aren’t addons.
