No idea why people use Brave when Firefox exists

Default Brave blocks ads more aggressively than default Firefox. Of course you can achieve that with Firefox + uBlock Origin, but add-ons are not available on iOS and iPad OS.

That's just my experience. I still use Firefox + Firefox Focus BTW. To block more aggressively, I also use VPN + Adguard Home.

Yep and for some people it's too hard to think about extensions so just having them install Brave is a perfect recommendation (for now anyway).
