Weren’t they just accused of grabbing their own ad data?
I don't recall any new controversies with Brave similar to that, but that said, there's not much of a reason to use anything other than Safari anyways. You're forced to use WebKit, and using something like Brave (which tbf is probably one of the better alternatives despite their history) only increases the number of parties you must trust, while mostly just being a reskin of Safari.
If lack of good ad block (e.g. beyond DNS) is a deal breaker, Brave seems to be the only open source option. Otherwise a good DNS server and adguard should get you most of the way there on Safari.
oh maybe , i dont use brave or ios , just know you can watch youtube videos in brave with no ads.
