I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

Time to switch to Firefox as the base.

    Amen. I'm just waiting for them to screw everything up and I'll follow along.

    Just use Firefox. I already like it better than brave personally.

    It really isn't though. I also started using Firefox recently and I miss tab groups on mobile as well as on my PC. Yes, there is the simple tab groups add-on, but it just doesn't compare.
    Brave is also easier to set up ad-blocking, because it comes with ad-block enabled and script-blocking two clicks away.

    Don't get me wrong, I will continue to use FF, but Brave has some features, FF does not have (yet).

    No need to wait, Firefox is already a strong competitor (in terms of features, not market share). Adblock on Firefox mobile makes mobile sites so much easier to use.

    I don't know how people navigate the internet without adblock on mobile. Each website is a nightmare with the majority of the screen being ads.

    Yeah, ff mobile may be complete garbage UX/security wise, but its the only usable mobile browser IMO, simply because of ublock support.

    What makes Firefox on mobile complete garbage security wise? Genuinely curious.

    According to the GrapheneOS docs

    Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android.

    Apparently Firefox's sandbox is still substantially weaker than chromium and it is currently much more vulnerable to exploitation.
