I never understood why anyone would use Brave, the payouts are small, the utility of the crypto is zero, and watching/seeing adverts is a nightmare. I honestly believe that blocking all advertising and sending a small monetary amount to someone providing value is a better way of supporting the people you care about.

I don't think people use Brave for any crypto stuff all that much. I use it to block ads.

Yeah can I get adblock on iPhone with Firefox?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

There are adblockers extensions for iphone, like adGuard. It will remove ads on Safari (doesn't work with other browsers unfortunately)

You can use pihole and route your traffic there with a vpn such as tailscale to block ads and more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can with Firefox Focus! Though to be clear, safari with AdGuard is much better. Even better when used together NextDNS and the HaGaZi blocklist.
