I was one of those few who used Firefox on mobile because I could install ublock origin on it, so I preferred it over Chrome because of that.

However, at the time (about a year ago), I didn't think Firefox was as fast as Chrome. So I eventually switched to the Chromium-based Brave (run by Mozilla's former CEO) due to its speed and (Chromium) security architecture (and of course ad-blocking).

I would use Brave on the desktop, too, if not for the awful UI decisions there (on mobile it's more like a Chrome clone). They really need to replace their UI guy, because I feel like he (or she) has been getting it wrong since day one. Too much UI fluff getting in the way and controls being hidden from you.




Hi, which controls do you want that are hidden from you on desktop Brave? Thanks.


I'm not that guy, but I'd like to see a dark chrome in Brave, I dislike bright colors.


Got it, on our todo list.


On that note, Opera Mobile have built in Adblocking as well these days.
