    Iceraven Browser

  • it's already possible via this Firefox fork https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser/release...

  • brave-browser

    Brave browser for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows.

  • Brave's adblocking seems decidedly worse than ublock origin. https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/16935 except on iOS where apple's restrictions are drastically limiting.

    You are so insistent that the feature built in primarily because the platform you've chosen has limited your ability to do what literally every other platform can do. I know there are some benefits privacy wise to the Apple ecosystem but it appears that Apple continues to "refuse to address" the need for actual browsers other than safari on iPhone rather than skins on top of Webkit.

    So neither party is doing what you please but you gave hundreds to thousands of dollars to one and nothing to the other so perhaps go ask the fellow who has all of your money if they can implement the feature.

    Alternatively wait for some combination of law and or technology to work around Apple.

  • src.next

    Source-code for Kiwi Next, a Kiwi Browser auto-rebased with latest Chromium

  • I've never tried Kiwi Browser but had similarly come across it while searching. The dev interestingly refers to them ads[1] (2022), though prior to being accepted properly into Bing's referral program Kiwi redirected all search queries through their own servers[2][3] (2021) (the original Kiwi repo's issues tab has been deleted since).

    Tbf dev always sounds reasonable in their responses but was a little off-putting initially so I kinda understand the GP's post.
