Tangential comment for those using iOS:
It sucks that this cannot be available on iOS because of Apple’s restrictions.
But I’m happy with Firefox Focus, which is my daily driver browser on iOS (and what I’m using to write this too). It has a built in content blocker. It doesn’t upgrade HTTP requests to HTTPS, like Brave does.
For ad and tracker blocking at the DNS level, I use NextDNS with some blocker lists enabled for my account (I recommend you check it out). It has made things better on other apps too.
- enriquto 6y ago> It sucks that this cannot be available on iOS because of Apple’s restrictions. Apple users have exactly what they want. It doesn't "suck": it's the very definition of walled garden. Your device is not yours, you are just allowed to play in there, under adult supervision. If you do not want walled gardens, just stop paying for them.
- jlokier 6y agoNo, not all Apple users have what they want. There is no "just stop" for people who need or want capabilities that only Apple devices have, but don't want the walled garden. It is not a free choice, not what those people want, and therefore sucks. The brutal fact is there are only two mobile OSes where essential apps are available (such as banking), and Android being the other one, is not suitable for all users and has its own walled garden issues.
