I checked out Brave yesterday for the first time and I think it does most of those things.

Brave has a desktop mode that mostly works and a built-in adblocker.

It does not have a `quick JS disable` button.

It also doesn't have a speed dial that I can manually add items to, which is one very important item that I forgot to mention earlier.

What I really want to do is make an open source browser that I can compile and put on my iOS devices myself too, without going to the app store. Then I could add all sorts of features and extensions without having to ask Apple.
