I use it because it has a built in adblocker, and well it just works.

There is some crypto bullfuck and AI shit you can easily opt out off, and some talk about some CEO making homophobic comments.

    Can someone recommend an alternative browser for android?

    I hate the Firefox ui layout on Android, I like brave for that.

      Can you elaborate more on what you don’t like about Firefox? All phone browsers feel very similar to me so I’m not sure what specific about it you don’t like. If the issue is muscle memory from using Brave, that will change once you use it for a few weeks.

      The only browsers I would consider using on Android are Cromite, Firefox, IronFox, or DuckDuckGo. Tor if you’re paranoid. All the rest are just messy and crammed full of AI slop.

        The biggest thing for me is that it’s two taps to open a new tab. There’s a useless home button next to the url bar that doesn’t do anything I want to do. I like how brave has the toolbar at the bottom.

        I just took another look and saw you can turn on a tab bar at the top, which is kinda okish

      All firefox forks, like Fennec and IronFox will look just like firefox.

      You fan consider Cromite. It is Chromium but with a lot of privacy features. Same UI as chrome.
