Help needed to end my constant browser switching

I keep cycling between browsers because no single one ticks all my boxes, and I'm hoping someone here has actually solved this.

My setup: Dual boot Windows + Linux (CachyOS) desktop for games, plus a work Mac laptop and an iPhone. I want ONE browser everywhere with working sync - not a different one per device.

Requirements:

- Kagi as the default search engine
- Proton Pass - including autofill
- YouTube ad blocking on mobile
- Sync across Windows / Linux / macOS / iOS
- Good Icelandic to English page translation (I'm in Iceland, read mbl.is daily)

What I've already ruled out and why:

- Safari - can't set Kagi as default without sending data to Google, no Icelandic
- Orion - no Windows build
- Edge - iOS locks you to a preset search list, so Kagi is impossible there.
- Chrome - won't block YouTube ads
- Firefox - does most of it, but no YouTube ad blocking on iOS (no extensions).
- Brave - Proton Pass autofill works, YouTube blocking works… but Icelandic translation is garbled (question marks all over mbl.is headlines).
- Vivaldi - Icelandic translation is cleaner… but Proton Pass autofill is broken on iOS (won't prompt on some pages to autofill the password).

Has anyone actually landed on a single browser that nails everything across Win/Linux/Mac/iOS with sync? Especially if you're also dealing with a small language country

Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions on things I've missed

PS I had no issues on a Samsung phone previously with Firefox guessing the real solution is to switch back to Android to avoid most of the above iOS related problems.

Looking Android Browser with smart box redirect info, and good gesture video player

In soul browser, Everytime ads redirect me to his page, small box appear in bottom screen show it confirmation. I can just ignore it not annoying by kick me in blank block page and close it everytime and if it legit redirect page just can tap it. I know without uBO no ways it can block redirect ads that always kick me in new page. So is really brilliant approach to do that i think, not annoying kick me in new page in blank block page that need to close it everytime.

So anyone know other that have that too and good video player gesture like soul? Is long not got update little bug appears, no news about what dev do with update even is really good quality video player 👏

## Brave vs. Firefox: Can I actually make the switch if I rely heavily on Chrome extensions? 🦊 🦁

(For Windows) Hey everyone, I’ve been using Brave for quite a while now, and honestly, I love it. The built-in adblocker is incredible, and because it’s Chromium-based, it has flawless support for the Chrome Web Store. That last part is huge for me—I rely heavily on several specific Chrome extensions for my daily workflow, and they are absolutely essential for my job. 💻 Lately, I’ve been looking closely at Firefox. From what I understand, Firefox tends to be lighter on RAM usage compared to Brave/Chromium, and in a lot of cases, it seems to load up websites faster. ⚡ I really want to give Firefox a fair shot, but the extension situation is holding me back. Many of the extensions I absolutely need for work just aren't available on Firefox. I've tried looking into workarounds to get Chrome extensions running on Firefox, but it's been a massive headache. 🤯 So I want to hear from the community:

  • For those who rely on specific workspace extensions, have you successfully migrated from Brave to Firefox?

  • Is the RAM efficiency and speed boost on Firefox significant enough to justify trying to force workarounds for missing extensions? 🤔

  • Or should I just stick with Brave since it handles my exact extension needs natively out of the box? Would love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and pros/cons for both. Every opinion is valuable to me! Thank you! 🙏
