Absolutely do not use Brave. Just use Firefox mobile as well, it has ublock origin, sponsorblock, and background play.

    When did iOS get ublock origin and sponsorblock as extensions for FF?

    Edit: To all the replies, I'm just pointing out that the guy above me is wrong. Yes, Brave is bad. But FF is not a good replacement for Brave if you want ad blocking on iOS because iOS doesn't support any browser extensions outside of Safari.

    iOS doesn't support alternative browsers unless they use Webkit underneath which comes with limitations. You have to upgrade to a better OS for it to work, or wait for the tide to turn (the EU has already forced Apple to be more open here)

    I have yet to see a reason for not using Brave that wouldn't also apply to Firefox developer Mozilla. That includes appeals to morality, control from Big Tech, etc.

    If Brave works (and on iOS it's basically the only option with a reliable ad blocker) then I don't see a reason to avoid it.

    Would love to see somebody levy a complaint that doesn't also apply to Firefox. Any takers?

    I mean, you say that, and to some degree you're right, but you do know that the Brave CEO is the same person that brought JavaScript upon us, right?
