Brave is hands down the best ad blocking experience on iOS as well.

kagi with ublock origin extension is just as good

Orion was my daily driver on iOS/macOS for a fair bit ~8 months ago. It wasn’t the most stable and didn’t block ads reliably in YouTube videos either. Planning to give it another shot next year. I certainly like the Kagi ethos better than Brave - the product functionality just wasn’t there yet.

I have youtube premium so I guess I hadn't noticed. it seems perfectly stable and usable to me though so maybe you're more of a power user than me. I do most of my browser on a laptop to be honest

I also use Brave on Android. The performance is better based on my use cases. I hardly see ads.

I think it doesn't background tabs at all. I noticed that the battery got considerably better if I actively always closed all my tabs.

Firefox focus is not real Firefox. I think it is just a chromium wrapper.

it uses the gecko engine, what are you talking about?

Ah, I am way way out of date, sorry! It switched to Gecko back in 2018. Turns out I had tried it out a very long time ago.

It's real Firefox, just not the complete Firefox browser (with extensions and all that) mentioned on this post.

you said it used blink/chromium engine, just correcting that is all.
