I switched to Vivaldi recently and it's alright. I'll say the Brave ad blocking is solid and the android app works better than Firefox mobile.

I think the only real solution to protect ourselves is to stop using any browsers.

Any alternative on iOS and android? Can't find any good one.. And I'm a GOS user very privacy aware but honestly brave is the only browser I know that blocks ads

if you're already using GOS, just use vanadium then, and block ads on the dns-level (eg by setting nextdns or adguard as "private dns" on your phone). works fine for me!

Kagi Orion, DDG, Safari with Ublock?

A Lemmy user made a nice “low data” browser called Narrow32.

I'm trying out waterfox on GOS with UBO and it's working pretty good, though I still mostly use vanadium out of habit (wish it had better ad blocking though). Gotta use aurora store for it though since it isn't on F-droid which is annoying.

“Privacy-focused browser”

paid for by the largest corporate espionage agency that spies on Americans for the US government

I need a lenticular post.

Hey! Put some (dis)respect on the man's name! Brave is made by the (idiotic) guy that made the backbone of modern interactive web(JavaScript) , Brandon Eich! He was one of the founders of Mozilla!

I used brave for a while, I got 10$ I also got 10$ from Honey, apparently only scams give me anything

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Brave is fine. But it is more due to my employer tolerating it instead of insisting on Chrome. I really like how you turn the privacy setting up to 11 and make websurfing borderline impossible.

Brave on Android is a turn-key (no configuration meshugas) adblocking solution for Youtube that let's me watch my subscribed channels without breaking on updates.

[–] paper_moon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Would newpipe, pipepipe, or Firefox on android with ublock origin extension work?

I use newpipe and it doesn't have YouTube ads. But I don't follow any subscribers, so I don't know if they include that functionality.

Firefox+ublock works for me
