MODERATORS
Check out Helium. It’s what Brave was supposed to be. (And it uses Chromium.)
It's a good one, but still in alpha and only Windows for the moment. Keeping an eye on it as alternative somewhat later.
I’ve been using it on Linux for months and didn’t notice anything weird going on. It’s not my main browser though, so your mileage may vary.
I'm fine with Brave, thanks.
But we'll keep recommending something else.
It's not working very well, at least for FF, which keeps hemorrhaging users (deservedly).
I run Brave on all my systems.
Is Helium or something like it available on iOS?
No.
I use Firefox Focus ob iOS and AdGuard DNS.
