The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training - Lemmy.world

Been using brave for a few years on mobile and desktop.

They uses to give away BAT, but they have refined their system to not give any unless you spend hours jumping through hoops and linking shoddy Chinese financial apps and crypto wallets.

I still use it for the privacy, but after reading this I will likely switch back to firefox or another chrome based browser.

Are there are any mobile browsers that have ad blocking like brave?
Kiwi and Yandex browser leta you use any Chromium extension, and Firefox Nightly, with some hacks, lets you use any Firefox addon on the webstore. FireFox stable version also comes with uBlock though.
The hacky extension workaround also works for Firefox Beta now if you don’t want to deal with as many glitches that Nightly might have.
Fennec on F-Droid is the best for not having to resort to beta or nightly builds. However, none of the Firefox options let you sideload your own extensions like Kiwi.
Okay but I don’t want to use Chromium.
Definitely give Fennec a try. I switch between it and Kiwi myself (the latter for a few paywall extensions and PWA).
