I don't use Brave due to lack of uBlock Origin support. Otherwise it seems like a decent browser.

Thing is, on iOS, at least in the past, Firefox had no uBlock origin support, which pushed Brave's adblocking capability to the #1 spot.

makes sense

Not just in the past, you still can't install addons in (any browser) on iOS. brave is basically the only option because it adblocks without addons.

I thought Safari supports some extensions now, including AdBlock Plus.
