So, if Brave is free & open-source, is "must-have on Android", why it still not added in F-DRoid repo?

As for me, at this moment FOSS Browser with disabled JavaScript — is better option for Android users.[1]

Fully must-have on Android should be links2[2] throw Termux[3] — this is what I claim right way for get "usable on shaky mobile data connections".

Browsers with enabled JavaScript is much less secure than those without JS enabled.[4]
