Just use Brave. For me internet is unusable without it.

I came across this about Brave. Am not sure if the free version is also changing as a result of this move.

Brave is charging $60 for a version of its browser that removes the features you probably never wanted

I'd also recommend LibreWolf, for those who want a "strict by default" experience and tweak from there.

Of all the browsers, Brave has to be the sleaziest one there is. Don't fall into their trap, you will become their target as soon as they feel they've milked the "we're not Google" strat as much as they can. Privacy/security features should ALWAYS be extensions, managed by someone without gigantic conflicts of interests. You don't want it built in. Opera might technically be worse, but I don't see tech people pushing that one so much.

i use brave on my iPhone because of the adblock, but i'm not loyal by any means.

i definitely felt the sleaze due to the fact that they sell ad space on new tabs. (_we_ can run ads). any recommendations for alternative ad-blocking mobile (iOS) browsers?
