   Brave was making my phone run like a Compaq Presario downloading 9 songs from Napster on a 56k modem.

   I deleted it and everything is snappy and responsive again.

     yeah i was compiling the gentoo librewolf overlay - i don't have much experience with this because my daily driver is devuan, i've been setting up a gentoo machine because i've recently got access to hardware capable of doing so
     
     look at the options, it still enables pulling binary blobs per default, unless i'm misunderstanding the wording
     
     daily use browser is librewolf / devuan

     was custom compiling librewolf and at least with those standard options it still enables drm and pulls binary blobs from mozilla

     I still get this on Librewolf for sites with DRM. Maybe it builds support for it, but you still have to enable it in the browser.
     
     Which blobs does it pull from Mozilla? I've just been using the Gentoo Librewolf overlay, but I've thought about trying to package it for Void.
     
     What browser do you use/recommend?

     I use the Opera offshoot Vivaldi. Runs all Chrome plugs. I use uBlock and other extensions. Fast AF. Customizable UI.

     @PNS I'm giving Firefox a try for now. I'm not sure how lightweight it is, but so far, it is much faster than Brave.

     There's LibreWolf if you want privacy aware Firefox (because that's a thing now that Mozilla is horrible).
