Newpipe is from F droid and they used to have an excellent download straight from their services.

^ Duckduckgo is so slick and nifty with a fire button too.

I started using Brave for many of my boards that would not display properly on Firefox.
I like it ...

I tried Brave once on my relic of the pc and it spit out the bone.

I haven't had problems with it. It's constantly in Dev, and you can updates quickly. You could even go beta if your so bold.

I have been using Thunderbird (Mozilla) for years along side Firefox (also Mozilla)
Fx has gotten so quirky, for awhile I was having to turn off Java to access message boards, that is when I started with Brave.
Fx now sends out updates weekly ! Doh !
Just no long ago, "the Google" said we are not gonna let Gmail play with Thunderbird anymore unless you certify it by jumping through our entire line of security hoops and then you can continue to use the Mozilla client on your Gmail account.
What a cluster **** that was, I had to integrate the Thunderbird client into the Gmail so I could see all of my mail from either location.
It only took a few days of reading and trial and error to make it work ... Meh like I had nothing else to do, as it worked fine before, The Google got their panties inna wad over 3rd party clients accessing their servers.

I use FF and T-bird, I have a Gmail account mostly for Android but don't use it as my primary email. I have it set to forward to my primary address so I can get the mail in T-bird. Good enough.

I've tried Mozilla products for decades. Never liked the footprint, rendering and other aspects. I'm a former computer tech and network spec. Mozilla products have always bothered me. I've used proton products (mmmehh - ok, but no to for me), Opera was ok until they sold out, Vivaldi is what came after Opera, the open-source community (mainly those that worked on Opera) developed Vivaldi and it's continuously improving and still open-source.

I tried FF like so many years ago but it ended up be a tweaker web browser for what I really wanted of it, I end up disbanding and switching back to edge with plenty of ad blockers and cookie blockers.

Micrsuck products I refuse to engage.
FAR too many contingencies involved with their software.

I've tried many, still try several two - three times a year. Keep going back to Vivaldi though.

I use duckduckgo as my browser to go on my android, and I have it married off to my search engine so many years ago, it is time they fall in love with my edge, well they are already married to each other hahaaa...
