Pretty good app, website. I use it for tracking my watch list. It's basically a letterboxd for TV shows and anime.

Thanks. Of course I use Firefox. Without uBlock Origin I wouldn't be able to survive Internet.
Interesting fact: I use Ublock on Girefox and have never seen the YouTube message about being limited to 3 videos. Maybe it's not a thing in the UK yet? I'm not sure, but all I know is I've had 0 issues with adblock on YT.
So as far as I have figured it's based on accounts. One of my accounts gets the pop up and I have to use the blocker and the other doesn't. I believe they do this to confuse the people or maybe to make I formation on their tactics unreliable.
cries in iPhone
^(I know brave is a thing, but chrome already has a monopoly)
Well you use safari only in iPhone right?
In the same way that someone using Edge, Brave, or any other Chromium based browser anywhere else is using Chrome, yes.
I guess brave had some tweaks on browser engine apart from that, yeah.
One thing worth mentioning is that in android browser is usually contained in the app so when you install different copies of different versions maybe installed. But on iPhone, you are using the browser built in to the system as backend
Yeah - the tweaks can be substantial and they have the flexibility to do more. Brave has a whole development pipeline for incoming Chromium changes so they can intentionally bring in code they want and avoid bringing in code they don’t want, like FLoC, or changes that would conflict with their own tweaks. But I don’t think many other browsers change a ton in the engine itself, so you effectively end up with them getting as much customization of Chrome, Firefox, or maybe of Safari (mostly of Chrome) as Apple allows browsers on its platform.
Having older versions isn’t generally an advantage, unless you’re trying to test for compatibility or something similar. It means you’re more vulnerable to known threats that have been patched in current versions of browsers
If you use YouTube through Safari, it has extensions that can help. I’m using AdGuard (paid, but I’m not sure that’s necessary), Vinegar, and SponsorBlock and I never see ads on Youtube. Pretty sure the reason is AdGuard, though.
Tried Orion browser with UBO extension? It used to be buggy but got a lot better recently.
Same
Seems legit
The genre I primarily watch also happens to be piracy
