    This is great news. Brave is a great browser, block all the trash ads by default plus has many enhanced privacy features. 👍

    Switched to the f-droid version, one less app that I need to pull from Aurora 😃

    Honestly I’m perfectly happy with Cromite but this is still good. The more F-Droid options the merrier.

      This announcement is for Brave hosting their own repository to host the Brave browser on that’s compatible with F-Droid, rather than the Brave browser being added to F-Droid’s official repository.

      Otherwise, perhaps you meant that you did add their repo and it’s still not showing up.

      I don’t use Brave, still with the more insecure Android Firefox variant (Firefox for Android is subpar in security), but I am glad Brave do want to expand here and for many users it is for sure the best option. No need to insult, whether you agree or not with them. If it is open, it is open and everything else should be secondary and for individual to choose on their own. Go Brave! Hope many more come too.

    Tbh, on my list for the future headline: “Hard to believe: this privacy app has been secretly selling data” Brave is in my personal top 3
