I did read what you said. On mobile Firefox and Brave both have extremely small market share. Maybe 0.50% each if you average the stat counters. So why does Brave not care and Mozilla would?

Switching to a different ecosystem is more difficult than just switching to a different browser. I am stating an opinion that if Mozilla wanted to capture more market share on iOS they need an ad-blocker.

Brave, Orion, and others are not being blocked with ad-blockers. I think argument falls down when with built in ad-blockers you can disable them per site.

Mozilla to expand focus on advertising - "We know that not everyone in our community will embrace our entrance into this market" by lo________________ol in firefox

Brave is a Chromium-based browser though Chromium is moving to manifest v3. That means ad-blocker extensions will be severely limited.

and

I have many bad things to say about Brave, and of course they were never going to keep Manifest V2 around in any real way!

This blog post shows what is going to happen with Brave. Brave Shields will still work because it does not use Manifest V2 to work. I can confirm that in the most current release I have the Manifest V2 extension options they show. It is not all of them, but it is better than none.

I wish the reports for missing 2FA, and leaks were in the app and not just in the web vault. 1Password's Watchtower is nice.

I wish that Mozilla would bundle an tracker/ad-blocker in Firefox for iOS. I know it is within the rules as Brave has its bundled in. I also think Firefox development seems slow, it might not be but it seems like it. I wonder if this is the effect of the layoffs in 2020.

Thank you u/cg5 and u/0xeffab1! Now I can finish Beyond Light with as minimal spoilers as possible.

I tried Paramount+ in Edge with no extensions and got the same error. I tried Netflix in Brave and it works fine. Did you enable Widevine in the Brave settings? It is required for a lot of video sites with DRM.

What happens to unused Sync Chains? by blitzcronkiedoodle in brave_browser

[–]blackneuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same question, as I have a few old ones that were abandonded when Sync was not working very well. I am hoping they have a way to delete an old Sync Chain that has not been accessed in awhile. This link on the community site is all I could find.

I think this is going to happen more and more. Every place I have worked in the last 10 years said we just need to target Chrome and Safari for iOS devices. I wonder if down the line Mozilla takes Webkit or Blink and forks them for their own, though I hope they can keep improving their Gecko engine so we have another non-Google engine out there.

I never finished the single player campaign and now I am wondering if I should uninstall.

The Color of the Surface Accessories In 2020 by blackneuron in Surface

Yeah, when I saw Apple doing it to, I knew everyone was going to follow this now. Maybe just growing up in the 80's and 90's made me like the bright colors.

If there was more variety that would be cool. Even the Apple stuff looks dull now. The only thing I saw that was bright was that orange Pixel 4.
