      Any Brave alternative that works on iOS?

      I’ve installed brave on some familly iOS device because that’s the best I could find at the time. But hope to find a good replacement.

      I am in this path too, but not for everyone. The Firefox (and variants) in Android is ok for normal browsing but would not log into highly sensitive sites nor is recommendable for many users that are not careful with settings and updates. Brave (and others privacy friendly ones), with its flaws, it is better in that arena, so recommended for them.

      Also, we may not like it, but if we criticize company attempts to become financial viable, we are doing at disservice to our FOSS community. We should just point what you don’t like from Brave and let our audiences decide for themselves.

    Tbh, on my list for the future headline: “Hard to believe: this privacy app has been secretly selling data” Brave is in my personal top 3

      From the first FAQ, It’s the same exact builds just distributed through a Fdroid repo.

    Honestly I’m perfectly happy with Cromite but this is still good. The more F-Droid options the merrier.

      Cromite use a third party repo, rather than being in the main one. And I’m hesitant to add repos for my system’s security.

      Do anyone has some informations or sources on Cromite’s maintainer, whether cromite.org is safe to add to repos?
