I'm fed up being asked to approve cookies on my phone, not to mention endless adverts and trackers. The Brave browser claims to block both. Trying it, we shall see...

I'd definitely be interested to know how you get on, I'm thinking of moving to it myself. I was hoping to use it on Windows now and Linux for my next desktop.

This frequent demand for 'approval' is a PITA.

I use it as my alternative browser when I want to do something that might conflict with logins on Firefox. It seems to be OK, although I don't use it much.

Not impressed so far. Started using it yesterday, selected to import passwords, favourites and form fill data from previous browser. This took a suspiciously short time. Following which, every website I went to I had to manually enter logon credentials and manually fill every form.
