I use brave because it doesn't apply chrome or edge group policies. If someone can tell me a better chromium based Browser (or firefox based) that does this, I'm all ears...

I currently use brave on iOS to block YouTube ads. Is there any other option right now? I’d be willing to switch.
The best solution on iOS is Yattee. You can add Piped or Invidious instances as locations and stream ad-free YouTube from there. Another solution that doesn't involve Piped and Invidious is AdGuard. Open a YouTube link in Safari, hit actions, then hit Block YouTube Ads (by AdGuard).

I'm pretty sure I've read this news a couple of times now the past week or weeks?
Name an alternative browser that has the same level of ability to block trackers built in.
why does it need to be built in? What's wrong with downloading one extension and being set afterwards?

I use Brave as a secondary browser mostly for government websites because sometimes my firefox privacy settings breaks them and since many of them are poorly designed a technical issue over your account may result in hours on the phone to resolve.
Why not use chromium or one of the many other chrome forks? What about Brave works better?

It’s only a matter of time until Eich sells all of Brave’s users down the river.
mullvad browser is a great choice
