Has anyone tried the Brave browser with Lemmy on mobile?

Lemmy doesn't like Brave? Pretty broken in my experience.

Brave is a scam. It was already caught red-handed on meddling with people's privacy, and as such, should be avoided at all cost.
That's all I can say on the matter.
- Lol, I told everyone years ago "Brave is shit, look at it's business model, you're gonna get scammed", everyone was like "Naaaah, it's cool, look how fast it is."... I don't even wanna say told ya now...
  
  You weren't wrong.
- Can you provide some examples? An initial search did not turn up any privacy complaints, so I am hoping for either some better search terms or an article on their mishandling of data.
  
  What query did you use, and what were the results?
What sort of issues have you been having? I use Lemmy in Brave and aside from wishing that certain buttons were easier to access, I have not had any significant issues since the 0.18 update.
- Must be my non android Chinese phone then, when I clicked posts they wouldn't come up unless I refreshed the page. Couldn't post comments. Had to switch to Firefox.
  
  All phones either use iOS, mainline Android, or a fork of Android. In either case, it's unlikely the OS causing this but Brave Shields just being a bit too aggressive. Try disabling it.
no. i use firefox
I use Vivaldi, and it works very well with Lemmy.
Have you tried disabling and/or lowering the aggression of Brave Shields for Lemmy? Only thing I can think of that'd cause issues.
- Ah I didn't think of that thanks.
