I used Brave for a while on Android and found it to work well. However, in the last month or so something changed and it started freezing constantly.

I've since switched to Firefox, which is much better on Android than when I last tried it.

I've been using Brave on android for a while now and it has been really good - it is basically the same as chrome, except with a built-in ad blocker. Highly recommend it as your daily driver.

I use firefox on desktop, but found firefox on android to be a bit clunky the last time I tried it (years ago)

Firefox on Android is a bit clunky, but Mozilla is currently working on a new version that will (hopefully) be much cleaner and faster. You can try it now as "Firefox Preview" on the Google Play Store.

I use it pretty much exclusively now, and though it doesn't block all ads and doesn't have addon support yet, it seems to prevent the intrusive ones from being a problem. I do keep Firefox for Android around with uBlock Origin just in case, but I rarely have to use it.
