I went from Firefox to Brave, only because I need bookmark sync from systems besides Macintoshes. We'd likely agree advert blocking is mandatory. I didn't see any advert blocking in FF for iPhone, while Brave looks to use the same blacklists as uBlock Origin.

So far it has caught nearly every advert and annoyance. Though I still am wearied by bombardments from the browser itself to sign up for 'services that respect my data', I get that they need to make money but I am still ticked off; it seems a little contradictory.

Also brave search has serious problems filtering out SEOspam blogs.
