There is no alternative on ios. I choose not to watch videos on mobile over using android.

This is why I pretty much stopped using mobile internet on my phone outside of looking up stuff on maps or maybe wikipedia. The mobile web is unusable now on iOS. I have a ~5 inch long screen, most websites give me an inch of readable space between the banner ad and the massive autoplaying video ad consuming the bottom of the screen, and the footer ad. All of them have the tiniest close button imaginable, even using my index finger can lead to fat fingering it and clicking some ad that instantly takes me to some entirely unrelated app on the app store instantly, or fakes a popup notification that my device is compromised. Even if I do manage to successfully hit close, another ad pops up in that space a few seconds later. Its like the internet before ad blockers in the early 2000s, full of malware in the ads.

I'm using Brave on iOS as we speak...

Brave on iOS is just a wrapper over Safari's WebKit and JavaScript runtime. Apple bans all competing rendering and JavaScript implementations from the App Store, forcing browser developers to develop skins over Safari.

That's ... absolutely tragic and rage-inducing!

Then you must like iOS more than you despise ads.

Why the downvote? Isn't it a logical conclusion?
