The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Are there are any mobile browsers that have ad blocking like brave?
Firefox for Android lets you install ublock origin as an extension. I absolutely refuse to use any other mobile browser.
Thrown privacy badger and if you are really feeling rebel and don't mind tinkering noscrypt
Firefox Focus as well. Built in ad blocker.
Mull. It's FOSS (Free open source software). It should be on the official f-droid repo but I believe the divestos repo pushes updates faster since they're the devs of the project.
You can use AdGuard on Android to block ads device wide. You can also install uBlock origin in Firefox Mobile.
I'm not sure for iOS
Kiwi Browser and Yandex Browser lets you use any Chromium extension, and Firefox Nightly, with some hacks, lets you use any Firefox addon available on the webstore.
Firefox's stable version also comes with uBlock.
Do not use Kiwi Browser. It's based on an extremely out of date version of chromium and therefore very vulnerable.
The hacky extension workaround also works for Firefox Beta now if you don't want to deal with as many glitches that Nightly might have.
Fennec on F-Droid is the best for not having to resort to beta or nightly builds. However, none of the Firefox options let you sideload your own extensions like Kiwi.
Okay but I don't want to use Chromium.
Fair enough! Definitely give Fennec a try. I switch between it and Kiwi myself (the latter for a few paywall extensions and PWA).
Yeah, vivaldi. Vivaldi is pretty neat, it has ad/tracker blocker. It also allows you to create multiple tab groups so your can categorise tabs and they don't get all clutterd. It's also a chromium browser. It doesnt do anything on fingerprinting though, but i don't know if brave does that.
A few, DDG was popular for a while but I recall reading they sold out recently?
Firefox. Ad blocking on my mobile is the same as my pc
Yes
Firefox has extension support on android
edge has built in adblocker
samsung browser has built in adblocker

mm yes samsung browser & edge definately gonna be way more trustworthy than brave.
Soul Browser with ad block and super configurable.
