Saw this in my adguard home query logs.

Brave is a scam.

I’ve never really had a comfortable feeling about Brave. I have no substantiating evidence, it just seems a bit squirrely. Besides the Tor browser, LibreWolf, Waterfox, and FireFox are the only acceptable browsers as far as I’m concerned, tho I don’t come down on those seeking an alternative to Google Chrome.

Any alternative to brave in iOS with adblocker? (I know, probably use another OS)

Vivaldi for iOS, it has an inbuild ad- and trackerblocker

Orion can use Chrome and Firefox plugins. Works great!

Far as I remember any browser in iOS is a scam anyways because Apple forces any browser in their platform to be based off of the same engine as Safari.

Yea, fuck webkit

AFAIK at least in the EU because have to admit also browsers with a different engine as WebKit. WebKit is same as Blink a fork from the KHTML engine by KDE, butway less advanced as Blink or Gecko, who outscore WebKit in modern webformats. This is why Apple don’t want other browsers which make Safari obsolete. Anyway, sooner or later Safari will be the next IE.

Sooner or later? They already are lol

Yes, but I won’t be so harsh

General practice, I do not use my phone as a compute platform. I realize others cannot do the same all the time. I do run firefox and a VPN which has an adblocker as part of it’s tool set.
