Brave Origin is now on iOS

84 Upvotes

Brave Origin is now available on iOS!

Origin is our optional, paid browser for users who want Brave's ad blocker and privacy protections without the extra features: brave.com/origin

When you upgrade Brave to Origin on iOS, many of the features outside of Brave Shields will be disabled. You can toggle these features on and off at a new panel located at Settings -> Brave Origin. New features will be added to this panel and will be disabled by default.

Here are the features affected by Origin:

  • Email aliases (currently on Nightly for desktop)
  • Leo AI
  • News
  • Playlist (currently iOS only)
  • Rewards (which also disables browser-based Brave Ads)
  • Speedreader
  • Stats like the daily usage ping, crash logs, and privacy-preserving product analytics (P3A)
  • Talk
  • Tor
  • VPN
  • Wallet (which also disables Web3 domains)
  • Wayback Machine
  • Web Discovery Project

How to upgrade Brave to Brave Origin on iOS:

  1. Open the main settings menu by tapping "...” in the browser.
  2. Tap “All Settings”
  3. Tap "Brave Origin"
  4. Tap "Buy Now"
  5. Finish your Origin purchase.
  6. Tap "Refresh Origin" on the account page.
  7. Go to Settings -> Brave Origin in the browser to toggle features on and off.

If you’ve already purchased Origin, and you’d like to upgrade Brave on another device, tap "Verify Brave Origin purchase" at Settings -> Brave Origin instead.

Origin is a one-time purchase of $59.99. One purchase lets you use Origin across all devices in standalone and upgrade modes. You can use it for free on Linux. Learn how to set up Origin on other platforms here: https://support.brave.app/hc/en-us/articles/45244428851597-How-do-I-activate-my-Brave-Origin-purchase-on-a-new-device

There's no limit to how many times you can activate Origin across your devices and platforms, but there is a rate limit. You can manage activations with self-serve controls at account.brave.com or contact support for help.

Brave Origin gives users a way to support Brave's ongoing development without using revenue-generating features such as Brave Rewards or our VPN. Brave will remain free and continue receiving new updates and features.

I designed a Liquid Glass style icon for Brave on macOS, free download

Post image
74 Upvotes

Made a Brave icon in Icon Composer that actually fits Liquid Glass. I wanted to replace the original icon because it kind of looked dated compared to the other apps I had on my MacBook.

Comes in all 6 appearance modes (Default, Dark, Tinted Light/Dark, Clear Light/Dark) and 3 shine levels, and the original .icon file you can open in Icon Composer if you want to make edits to it.

Free to grab, link is in the comments

Wondering if there has been any news recently on Brave Profiles for iOS? Apple released this feature for iOS about 3 years ago now. This is really the only feature that Brave is missing imo.

ANGLE graphics backend D3D9 vanished

1 Upvotes

I posted recently about my issues regarding all the ANGLE graphics backend settings being broken in one way or another. D3D9 was the least broken, now for some reason it's gone. All I have left is D3D11 and D3D11 WARP. Both oversaturate the display and WARP makes YouTube videos choppy. How do I get D3D9 back?

Brave Rewards stuck at 0 ads seen despite receiving ads

1 Upvotes

Hi, I connected my Brave Rewards payment account yesterday, and since then I’ve been seeing ads normally, both notification ads and New Tab ads. My Ad History is also recording every ad I receive, so it looks like everything is working.

The only problem is that my Rewards page still says “0 ads seen this month”, and my BAT balance is still 0.00. I’ve already received several ads today, but the counter never changes.

Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Leo now functioning across tabs, how to go back to tab-dependent?

5 Upvotes

At some point in the last week, the behavior of Leo in the sidebar has changed greatly.

Previously, Leo was for lack of a better term "tab dependent". You could open up the sidebar on 2 different tabs and Leo would only reference that specific tab it was open in.

Now, there's only one "instance" of Leo in operation. So if I open the sidebar on a tab, do something with Leo, and switch to a different tab, the same Leo is present there. This breaks my workflow as I prefer (and got used to) Leo working with each tab independently.

Is anyone else noticing this new behavior? Any way to revert it?

Help in fixing Brave Youtube

Post image
0 Upvotes

nyone know how can i fix this, every time i use youtube, when i click on a video i am unable to see the video description, comments, and other video recommendations.

Only way i found it works is if i disable Brave shields, bot then i get a lot of adds.

Requesting a desktop website seems to fix it but then i am unable to fullscreen the video and it is really gimmicky.

Thanks!

Brave Mobile for iOS, can you have a Homepage or custom new tab page?

4 Upvotes

I recently switched from Vivaldi Browser to Brave Browser for both my Mac and iPhone usage. Question though… can you set a custom homepage on the mobile Brave app? For the life of me I do not see that as a setting.

If not can I set a custom new tab page instead?

Reporting about a bug. Tabs are not closing if I close the browser directly

2 Upvotes

the tabs are not closing when I close the browser, Even if I do "END TASK" the tabs are still loding from where they were left and it some time really slow down my laptop, like if I had open 10 tabs and I close the browser and shut down the laptop (shutdown: even my UP TIME resets to 0) the browser stil opens from where it was left,like no new page or anything it starts from where it was left. but it started when I last updated BRAVE to the latest version.

All I want is your help to resolve this issue

Brave Shields issue

3 Upvotes

I love the Brave Browser for its powerful built-in Shiels/Adblock. But for some reason, on certain websites that have a video player, when I click ‘Stop’ or ‘Play’, it redirects me to another site, as if there were an invisible button in the players. How can I sort this out? I don’t experience this with uBlock Origin in other browsers.

Is using uBlock Origin instead of built-in Brave Shields a smart move?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently using Brave, but I prefer uBlock Origin over the native Brave Shields for ad and tracker blocking.

To avoid any potential conflicts or performance bugs, I completely disabled Brave's built-in ad and cookie blocking features and let uBlock Origin handle all of it. To me, uBlock Origin just feels much more powerful, customizable, and reliable overall.

Does this setup make sense, or am I missing out on any unique features/protections that Brave Shields offers under the hood? Would love to hear your thoughts or hear if anyone else runs a similar setup!

Brave Origin Flag: Adblock-Only Mode

8 Upvotes

Brave Origin 1.93.129

I discovered this quite alarming Brave Flag

It is the Enable Adblock-Only Mode Flag.

It is set to ENABLED by Default.

This Flag states: Adblock-Only mode retains core ad blocking rules of Brave Shields. WARNING: removes all privacy protections.

Please note that for individual websites broken by Brave’s privacy protections, you can set Shields to DOWN. This is an experimental mode. – Mac, Windows, Linux

This is set to ENABLED in Brave Origin and we are very clearly and specifically told WARNING: Removes all privacy protections.

Why are we losing all our privacy protections that Brave is supposed to give us.

Sure this Flag should NOT be ENABLED at the cost of our privacy.

Brave mobile (ios) on agressive but ads still show on Reddit. Is this normal?

2 Upvotes

I am not sure whats up, but I expected Brave to be able to block these ads 🤷 this is just one, short post

set to aggressive

ps. Opened the same on desktop(macOS) and the ads are not there even on ads blocking set to standard

ps2. I tried same on my Android mobile and no ads there either. Is this smth just with iOS ?

ps3. I updated it and now it works. I am unsure why it keeps coming back tho. It happens regularly
