Aw man I just started using Brave on my Android phone and really enjoy using it's AdBlock features and forced dark mode on pages that don't support it yet.

I tried Firefox and they didn't have an option to force dark mode on webpages without me having to turn this in in developer mode which breaks other apps I use.

... Looks like it's time to switch browsers again. Anyone got any suggestions? Preferably a Chromium-based privacy-focused browser without any crypto-related bells and whistles. And it has to be able to sync between Android and desktop.

Vivaldi. Browser for a power user. Works amazing. Basically opera before it was bought by the Chinese.

I've been using Vivaldi for a while That's run by a team of ex Opera Browser engineers.

Vivaldi! It's got everything you just described without the crypto bro nonsense.

I'm geniunely asking, what are the alternatives that are fast, have builtin sync, and can block ads on android? I've tried firefox, and while it's gotten better on desktop, in my experience it struggles to play youtube videos on mobile, and the ui is basically unusable on a tablet/foldable.

never used that "Brave" and never will

Can anyone recommend a good alternative that works well under Linux and block ads and trackers well? In particular YouTube ads?
