It gets my goat that people think it's a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It's run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They're a for-profit advertising company. "Privacy-centric" my elbow.

I’ve yet to find a browser on iOS that blocks ads as effectively. I’d like to use Firefox but they don’t seem interested in adding Adblock on their iOS app. I don’t want to use Brave but browsing the internet with ads is an absolute non-starter.

don’t write off safari so quickly. it’s got fingerprinting protection, browser profiles that separate cookies and history, and extension support. i use ublock origin lite with next dns and don’t get any ads anywhere. you can use adguard as well. (check safari settings for the fingerprinting, it’s on for private browsing only by default)

I use Brave selectively. I don't know about ads. I don't get ads. I don't know about donations. It's never asked me for donations and doesn't have the info necessary to charge me without me knowing. A little more info on that one would be nice as I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

To be honest, I kind of don't care. If I was super adamant about being 100% politically/morally correct I wouldn't use any product, ever. I don't pay for it and I don't feel like it's taken advantage of me. So I'm going to keep on using it sporadically like I do now.

For reference, I only use it in private window mode.
