on one end, brave does seem rly good in terms of privacy but also chromium. its like building a house on uneven and loose terrain
Honestly I'm perfectly happy with Cromite but this is still good. The more F-Droid options the merrier.
Cromite use a third party repo, rather than being in the main one. And I'm hesitant to add repos for my system's security.
Do anyone has some informations or sources on Cromite's maintainer, whether cromite.org is safe to add to repos?
nice that's cool... but it's brave. do they still give their crypto to show crypto ads? lol
Tbh, on my list for the future headline: "Hard to believe: this privacy app has been secretly selling data" Brave is in my personal top 3
Not yet showing on search of F-droid
This announcement is for Brave hosting their own repository to host the Brave browser on that's compatible with F-Droid, rather than the Brave browser being added to F-Droid's official repository.
Otherwise, perhaps you meant that you did add their repo and it's still not showing up.
Ah, thank you. I've been a twit and not realised.
They are finally acting brave
Say that again.
Roll the credits boys 👏👏
Brave's a bunch of marketing/advertising driven crypto"currency" i.e., pyramid scheme peddlers desperate for greater fools.

On a computer either use uBlock Origin-included LibreWolf for stability and privacy, Zen browser for power users, and on Android one can use Fennec; all of them Firefox derivatives.

Any Brave alternative that works on iOS?
I've installed brave on some familly iOS device because that's the best I could find at the time. But hope to find a good replacement.
How about IronFox for Android?
You be the judge and reviewer ;)
I recognize it by name but I haven't tested it or anything.
PS My list wasn't meant to be exhaustive, sorry for the wrong impression. I'm sure there are great other Android browsers.
But I don’t want to be Judge Judy and executioner.
Well, I use IronFox. It's essentially a fork of the now-discontinued, Firefox-based Mull browser. It's a privacy and security oriented browser. It's not on F-Droid, afaik, but it's on the Accrescent store
It is available on F-Droid, if you add its repository. QR code here: https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox

Good to see more software offering an fdroid option.
There's honestly far too many that still don't offer any option outside of the Play Store.

From the first FAQ, It's the same exact builds just distributed through a Fdroid repo.
