    Because it blocks ads out of the box. I know its new tab screen causes a lot of y’all’s buttholes to clench because it mentions cryptocurrency, but there are harder things to ignore

      Careful, if you try to advocate or defend Brave on Lemmy, you’re stepping on a minefield.

        Idk if I would advocate for or defend it, but I find mobile ads especially abhorrent cuz they take up more relative space on the screen and my upload speed isn’t good enough to be VPNing through my pihole anytime I’m outside the house

        iOS browsers are just skins for Safari anyways, and Brave addresses my issue out of the box, so yeah
