If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it’s even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

    Interesting. I have never paid for an adblock before, but it’s good to know there’s a backup. It seems a bit wild to pay for an adblock when free and open sourced solutions exist I guess…

      This one is open source.
      Adguard is an massive contributor in the adblock scene.
      Many of their products are free (Adguard Home, DNS, etc.). Even this one has a free version. They want to make money as a company and on iOS you gotta pay the Apple tax.
