Brave, the thiel funded browser, is indie?

By August 2016, the company had received at least US$7 million in angel investments from venture capital firms, including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, Propel Venture Partners, Pantera Capital, Foundation Capital and the Digital Currency Group.[49]

Lololol.

Shit. Who do you recommend instead?

[–] pogmommy@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not the person you responded to but as a former Brave user, I've been very satisfied with LibreWolf on desktop, and IronFox on Android.

Why not fennac straight from F-droid?

[–] pogmommy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

My understanding is that Fennec only removes Mozilla's telemetry, whereas IronFox (forked from the discontinued Mull) is that plus patches to further harden the browser.

IronFox is available through F-Droid via the project's own repository, but is recommended to install through Accrescent, which you can learn more about here.
