I really enjoy brave on desktop and mobile. Other mobile browsers turn every internet interaction into chaos with all the popups and ads (even let’s you use YouTube in the background with its playlist feature on mobile). I read the article and I didn’t understand why the product itself was bad? CEO did some stuff that the writer (and me) doesn’t agree with, doesn’t make it a crappy product though?

Firefox Mobile with the add-ons "Video Background Play Fix" and "uBlock Origin" will play YouTube in the background with no ads or popups.

Honestly, I'm with Brave just for easy of use and out-of-box usability. I did modify built-in settings though.

  • No account, I can sync my bookmarks even between mobile and desktop.
  • Built-in security/ad blocking, no extra plugins and permissions.

I will probably give Firefox a try in the future but a few years back it was so bloated and I hate having to install things from 3rd parties I feel should be included.
