Don't like tab groups? You can disable them with the v1.96 Android update at Settings -> Tabs and Tab groups! If you DO like tab groups, visit that menu for new customization options. The options are rolling over the next few days. If you don't see them yet, check back soon!

If privacy matters to you, stick with the mobile site when you can. Brave helps by blocking these "switch to app" prompts by default, so sites can't keep nagging you.

You can also stop links in Brave from launching other apps: Android: Go to Settings -> Brave Shields & Privacy and make sure "Open external links in Brave" is turned on. iOS: Go to Settings -> Shields & Privacy and turn off "Allow universal links to open in external apps."

Howard Wu (@1HowardWu), founder of @AleoHQ and CEO of Provable and Shield Wallet, argues that the biggest obstacle to private stablecoins isn't the technology. Instead, it’s the assumption that compliance and privacy are fundamentally at odds. Check out this full episode of #TheBraveTechnologist podcast, hosted by @LukeMulks, to learn how zero-knowledge proofs enable compliance without traditional KYC data collection.

Love that YouTube ads aren’t even selling you anything, they’re just trying to annoy you into paying for a premium YouTube subscription

Brave has a built-in ad blocker unaffected by the Manifest v3 changes that led to Edge and Chrome dropping uBlock Origin support. Plus, Brave still supports uBO for anyone who wants to keep using it. You can enable uBO at Settings -> Extensions -> Manifest v2 extensions.
