I've been using freeadblocker browser after stumbling on it (with DDG as a search engine). Does it have anything to do with Google/chrome? I'm confused, because I've been using it for so long and it blocks all ads so I guess I don't know why no one is using it unless it's some Google stepchild I don't know about and I'm still googled without knowing it.
Hmmm, that isn't open source, I don't know if one can trust it. Why does a browser need in-app purchases? Try Mull or Cromite.
Edit: from the description, it uses Brave Search (to answer you question), so it doesn't send to Google your queries. But I'd be careful with an app with a bunch of SEO keywords in its description.

Seems really fishy.
Quite a few trackers: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.hsv.freeadblockerbrowser/latest/
And so many red flags like a free VPN (so they route all your traffic), "powered with AI technology" (what for?), not open source…
A browser is a very sensitive piece of software, you trust it with a lot of personal data. Don't use a random one like this one.
Is that iOS, Android or PC? Do you have a link?
Android. It seems to be available on Google play ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hsv.freeadblockerbrowser) now but I remember having to find the APK elsewhere when I first got it.

Because I can use Firefox.
