I don't think people use Brave for any crypto stuff all that much. I use it to block ads.

I used it for the perceived level of privacy they pretended to offer. Guess I'm switching to Firefox tomorrow.

Yep, exactly my thought too. I've made too many hops but none of these products truly offer privacy.

I moved from Telegram to Signal for security only to learn more and more about the holes in Signal. At least Proton Mail is fine.

Yeah can I get adblock on iPhone with Firefox?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

There are adblockers extensions for iphone, like adGuard. It will remove ads on Safari (doesn't work with other browsers unfortunately)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can use pihole and route your traffic there with a vpn such as tailscale to block ads and more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can with Firefox Focus! Though to be clear, safari with AdGuard is much better. Even better when used together NextDNS and the HaGaZi blocklist.
