  • “Yes.”

    I use multiple gmail accounts and self-hosted for mostly junk/apps, and then a Proton mail account for “serious” accounts like financials.

    I’m considering swapping to “Unlimited” especially for the VPN which has already proven far faster for me under the “free” tier than what I get from ExpressVPN, and it works out cheaper on top of that.










  • Yes Apple forces everyone through webkit and won’t allow third-party blockers. Brave on iOS was forked from Firefox anyway, and iirc uses the same API to block ads as Firefox Focus. Google is most definitely not involved, particularly because both block YouTube ads (and is my primary reason for using Brave anyway).

    I’m not sure what you’re referencing in regard to VPN usage; I have had zero problems with mine.


  • I appreciate that but my response was more intended to chastise the guy blanket labeling people cultists and idiots for no good reason because they hate a browser someone else uses.

    The system-wide AdGuard app handles most things well enough, and Brave does its thing on YouTube ads without issue.

    Firefox Focus will also take care of YouTube ads (if anyone else stumbles down this rabbit hole), but it’s too heavy-handed for me because I actually stay logged into my account and use my history.

    My Pi-hole install also handles all but YouTube if I’m at home, so there’s that.
