I don’t get why more people don’t use Brave. It literally blocks all of these annoying things (not only ads) on mobile and desktop and it’s very easy to disable all the crap they add to make money (although I do feel bad and actually writing this made me think to donate if that is an option). Brave search is 80% as good as Google’s too.

Some have lost trust in Brave given various reports of them selling users data, which conflicts with their messaging as being the "privacy safe browser".

Seems indirect and I don’t really care if they use my usage data.
