Think what you will of Brave's crypto, but its adblock is spectacular. (slrpnk.net)

uBlock Origin + Firefox is the same tho if not better? What do you mean by "it's insane"?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Brave is worse by many terms.

Their tor implementation is insecure af and their privacy is just marketing

Brave keeps playing youtube videos (music) when you lock the screen on your phone. Haven't found out how to do that on firefox and I won't pay youtube for a standard feature they took away

I haven't tried Brave, but LibreTube is great for this

I can do that with fennec+ublock on the phone, you can get it from fdroid.

Is this a meme or an ad? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

I literally thought about this while eating spaghetti. And then I proceeded to contact Brave and we signed a deal where they agreed to send me thousands of dollars to make this ad, I mean a meme, and only post it on a single lemmy community.

What do you mean its ears are cut?

When the icon shape is round it might look like what you describe, have you tried changing the shape? Even the stock android launcher has that option I believe, but I might be wrong.

Edit: and if you don't like that it says F-droid in the name of the Fennec app, just rename it? Sorry, I might be misunderstanding you, but those reasons are a bit silly and easily fixable.

Maybe it happens in his app menu. They touch the edge on mine.

Long press on app icon. Rename. Maybe your launcher does not have that.

And that first screen. You see that a split second when the app starts, if something like this is a problem for you to use the app then you cannot be helped.

Can you edit this without pushing your own commit and rebuilding the app entirely?

You can't do shit because it's a problem with your phone. This is not something handled by the app. The app only provides the icon, it's Android that's supposed to handle the launch animation; that's why launch animations can look completely different on phone's made by different OEMs.

I use brave on my phone and I like it. Never cared to activate their coin system.

I'm a crypto bro, and not even I use it. Good thing nobody forces us to do so.
