What aspect of Brave's model here was specifically anti-consumer? Instead of just being, say, anti-Apple-IAP.

In this particular case the harm isn’t obvious, but the benefit isn’t either.

Safari and Firefox both have good options for blocking ads on iOS.

The larger point is that the benefits of lots of garbage being filtered out are worth it even at the expense of niche capabilities, like IR blasters or selling my attention.

Shouldn't that be up to the user, not Apple? Why shouldn't I be allowed to use my preferred browser w/ its features?
