The fact that its main 2 gimmicks are a shitty ad blocker and integrated cryptocurrency should be enough of a red flag, honestly. Just use Firefox, people!

Firefox doesn't block ads on my iPad. Only reason I still use brave

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe that's because it's not really Firefox, everything on apple devices is forced to use safari, all you do with the "Firefox" installation is change the ui.

You are not wrong, no correction needed. However, their "Firefox Go" browser blocks ads, so it's a little annoying that the full browser doesn't. I only really use brave for YouTube on it anyway. Firefox I still use for normal browsing there and everywhere else.
