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.

I get why it's popular. It's has a nice default user experience and if that's all you care about most people will be fine with it. It's not for me though

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.

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

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'd be happy to switch away the moment someone recommends me a better chromium based option.

Firefox just doesn't work for my use case. I know it's pithy, but their dev tools suck, and the history menu is dogshit. And since my main use case is pulling up recently used pages, that's a huge impediment for me.

I'd switch to vanilla Chromium, but it's (reasonably because of what it is) super feature poor. Not having a good way to device sync on Linux basically makes it a non-starter for me.

So what's my alternative? What browser should I use? It's a genuine question, as I've tried several, and Brave is the only one that's remotely usable for my use case.

Have you tried Helium Browser?

I haven't used it myself as I use Firefox, but it looks promising. If I had to use Chrome on my device I'd try this one. It is still in beta technically, though
