Been using brave for a few years on mobile and desktop.
They uses to give away BAT, but they have refined their system to not give any unless you spend hours jumping through hoops and linking shoddy Chinese financial apps and crypto wallets.
I still use it for the privacy, but after reading this I will likely switch back to firefox or another chrome based browser.
Are there are any mobile browsers that have ad blocking like brave?
Mull. It's FOSS (Free open source software). It should be on the official f-droid repo but I believe the divestos repo pushes updates faster since they're the devs of the project.
