Ok, so the mobile version of Brave Browser sucks on my phone. Crashes more than my friend having anxiety attacks. No offense to anyone dealing with anxiety as I deal with it too at times. But I still poke fun at it.

@pkimpton have you tried the DuckDuckGo Privacy browser?

@nickh On my phone not as of yet. Temporarily switched back to Chrome. But I'll be testing it out. And removed Brave off my phone.

@pkimpton after figuring out that Chrome resolves at the DNS specified by you/your computer, and then proxies Ads and other stuff to their DNS. Its the same way spyware works

@nickh Well you see, on my laptop I block ads via a modified host file so there's a ton that don't get through. Now that Brave is on my laptop, even a ton more won't get through at all.

@pkimpton I like brave but I haven't done any testing to see it brave reports back to google, as it is a Chrome derivative. I have not found a Browser I am 100% happy with yet. Been using Epiphany and Firefox when I have to.

I hope to set up a solid set of tests and find one browser (or more) that works good enough and that doesn't "phone home", I just haven't had the time to do the research myself yet.

@nickh I can probably ditch the actual bank app I use since it does have a nice clean mobile layout. It's working with the Duck browser... Yeah I'm lazy didn't want to type the whole thing out. lol

@pkimpton same here on the lazy, once I figured out that my top 5 browsers on Android were reporting back to places I wasn't accessing, I just stopped using my Spy Brick for stuff that required privacy.

I am excited to put the Mobile PureBroswer through its passes. I trust it but I will feel better when it at least "scores" higher than the others.
