I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

Their business model is replacing ads with ads they get paid for. Obviously they aren’t going to like Google making that harder.
You may be right but I have been using Brave on iOS simply because you can’t just install Firefox and uBlock, and since I reconfigured the new tab page I haven’t seen any ads anywhere at all.
From now on, any browser that refuses to implement Google‘s evil shit should be worth a look.
Came here to say this; this was the main reason I had to switch off of Firefox.
And also you can turn off or disable a lot of the “questionable” content Brave has so it is pretty tame, if not, like Firefox.
Why not stick with Safari with the Adblock extension and all the others that are available?
Because this way, instead of two apps it’s just one and with better control over content blocking.
But every browser on iOS is just a wrapper around safari… So you’re still just using safari plus another app
At least there is a big (ish?) player in the Chromium-sphere pushing back against this.
The more browsers that don’t initially support this, the slower adoption by web sites will be. If enough of the browser market share remains incompatibe, and if we’re lucky, maybe this technology won’t stick.
