Does Brave still whitelist Facebook trackers? Is there a way to opt-out of Facebook tracking on Brave for iOS?

Did you read the link you posted? They block many facebook tracking components but there are some things they aren't touching right now because some website depend on facebook for logins.

How can people, who are not using those websites, avoid Facebook tracking on the rest of the web?

[prophesi]

Install one of the many chromium extensions that block/obfuscate such tracking.

Sadly not an option on iOS, which is the reason for using Brave in the first place.

Honestly, blocking ads/trackers on mobile has always been a tricky business. You could set up Pi-Hole on your home network. Or see if there's something similar to this on iOS: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dnsfilter.android/

It's actually one of the reasons I use Android and why I'm looking at alternatives, like Librem 5 and PinePhone. I don't like how Apple doesn't allow competing browser engines on their phones and tablets (only skins that use Safari underneath), and I don't like Google's privacy issues on their phones.

Ad blockers have existed on iOS for years.

Thanks, it seems much faster than 1BlockerX with Safari. Is there a way to whitelist sites?

Brave allows granular blocking on a per-site basis, with a simple in-browser UI on iOS. Do Safari content blockers work with Brave on iOS?

[hombre_fatal]

1Blocker X is probably best in class.

Yes, trackers are blocked by default, and the Google / Twitter / Facebook login options are in the Brave preferences section.

Not seeing "login options" in Settings on Brave for iOS, Version 1.9.3 (19.05.22.15)

Ah sorry those options are on the desktop build.

Perhaps there are tickets in the github repo to add this to mobile builds?

[_emacsomancer_]

I don't see them on the desktop build either.

[justsee]

Preferences -> Social Media Blocking.

If you don't see them I could only guess that maybe you have an old version of the browser installed?
