  1. This is exactly the reason why I didn't stick with Brave (I made a self challenge to use it fully for 30 days). I tried it out because it has a lion icon, to be honest. It wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't better in features for me than Edge. Edge comes already preinstalled and the sync with the phone worked well. I didn't like the crypto stuff, even though you can disable it I think. I didn't like the fact the "anti-ads browser" promotes itself with ads. And yes, you may think it's clever or a cheeky joke, which technically to an extent it is, but it rubbed me off the wrong way just like when DDG, the privacy focused engine, was caught not blocking Microsoft things specifically. The last thing is it is Chromium. I feel it defeats the purpose on helping the web not using Firefox at that point. If I'm on Chromium, I just use Edge. Aside from Microsoft bs, it's a very good browser. But besides that going to the Chromium thing while that IS open project, I have the feeling sooner or later in some way, shape or form, "Open source Chromium" will have the roadblocks that "open source Android" is getting, you made a video on this recently which I thought was very informative and unfortunate (what they do, not your video. Video was really good). Also the built-in blocker didn't work for me that well. I still needed to get uBlock Origin for a better experience. But that could've just been me. And it had issues on YouTube such as populating the chat on livestreams and... other minor quirks (I repeat this about FF below). So I decided to go back to Firefox. I thought if I ever also go back to Linux full time, going with Firefox would be the best bet and it's also not-chromium (every other browser is, except for Safari). Sadly, it is lacking in some productivity features natively as of now, which I miss and other very minor quirks, but overall has been a very smooth experience and as far as I know, you could strengthen Firefox defenses to be as good as Brave, Brave just comes with it out of the box/default. And Firefox on the phone works like a charm compared to the newest Edge updates or Brave when I used it. And I have a Galaxy A22, very run of the mill mid to low end phone. Not fantastic. The best thing of operative systems, programs and browsers is they are all tools and we use the ones we like the most or the most helpful to get our work done.
