What's wrong with Brave browser? - Lemmy.World

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.

Waterfox has worked for me so far. Does seem kind of similar to Firefox though.

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

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.

Boy howdy do I have good news for you.

Firefox released a new bar design in October. It’s currently enabled by default in Nightly, but if you can find the “Secret Settings” menu on Stable, you may want to give the “Composable Toolbar” option a spin :)

Quick new tab button on mobile

It'd be helpful to have a new tab button next to the address bar on mobile for easy access. Currently, opening a new tab requires two clicks - one to open the tab window, and another on the "+" button to open the new tab. This also requires interaction with two different parts of the screen that are...
