Our new officially-supported repository allows users of the F-Droid client to install the browser and receive automatic updates without requiring Google Play.
On a computer either use uBlock Origin-included LibreWolf for stability and privacy, Zen browser for power users, and on Android one can use Fennec; all of them Firefox derivatives.
Well, I use IronFox. It’s essentially a fork of the now-discontinued, Firefox-based Mull browser. It’s a privacy and security oriented browser. It’s not on F-Droid, afaik, but it’s on the Accrescent store
I am in this path too, but not for everyone. The Firefox (and variants) in Android is ok for normal browsing but would not log into highly sensitive sites nor is recommendable for many users that are not careful with settings and updates. Brave (and others privacy friendly ones), with its flaws, it is better in that arena, so recommended for them.
Also, we may not like it, but if we criticize company attempts to become financial viable, we are doing at disservice to our FOSS community. We should just point what you don’t like from Brave and let our audiences decide for themselves.
Brave’s a bunch of marketing/advertising driven crypto"currency" i.e., pyramid scheme peddlers desperate for greater fools.

How about IronFox for Android?
You be the judge and reviewer ;)
I recognize it by name but I haven’t tested it or anything.
PS My list wasn’t meant to be exhaustive, sorry for the wrong impression. I’m sure there are great other Android browsers.
But I don’t want to be Judge Judy and executioner.

It is available on F-Droid, if you add its repository. QR code here: https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox
Any Brave alternative that works on iOS?
I’ve installed brave on some familly iOS device because that’s the best I could find at the time. But hope to find a good replacement.

If you can’t be financially viable without scamming people maybe fuck off??
use Fennec for normal browning and Tor Browser for anything of such sensitivity
I am now with IronFox, I forgot the reason I left Fennec. Does anyone know the advantage of one vs the other?
