Anyoneserioius about privacy should not be using a chromium browser, and should definitely not be using brave.
I disagree. Firefox is fine, but saying chromium is spyware because its primarily maintained by google is like saying android is spyware.
Additionally chromium browsers are arguably more secure than Firefox, and has more advanced sand boxing. So much so that graphine OS used chromium instead of Firefox for their vanadium browser.
Only thing I agree with is not using brave.. Cause well.. They fishy.
But they’re the only ones blocking ads on YouTube for iOS 😞
You can add something like AltStore to an unjailbroken iPhone and sideload a YouTube app with adblock built in.
