    DuckDuckGo does have a stand-alone browser for Android. I'm using it at the moment.
    Not sure about iOS.
    Their product for Mac desktop is a plug-in for other browsers.

    I'll take a look at Brave.

    A-ha: I'm pc/iOS only, so Android is off my personal horizon. Makes more sense.

    Been using ddg for a replacement search engine for several years, too. Fewer complaints than with Brave, personally.

    It's about the comparison between the Brave Browser and Duckduckgo's browser. Yes, most people know duckduckgo as an enhanced privacy web search engine. They also offer an Android and iPhone web browser, if you like the duckduckgo ecosystem.

    Here is the iPhone version:

    The duckduckgo extension is what I am using in my Linux box (Mint Tara) with Fire Fox.

    Downloaded Brave. It does seem quick so far, I'll give it that.

    Also seems to me that the built-in ad-blocker is one of the best I've seen.

    Have you looked into the Brave BAT (Basic Attention Token) system? Apparently it's a form of cryptocurrency that you and the users get for seeing advertisements. I don't know how intrusive the ads are, but might be some easy money from the 7 of us using the Brave browser.
