Python
What’s wrong with Python?
- Python is slow, even compared to some other interpreted languages (not all languages in this comparison are interpreted).
- Python has poor type safety (without explicit hinting).
- Current Python versions have poor backward compatibility (CW: article image is AI-generated, unfortunately) with previous Python versions. And I do mean poor.
- Python’s syntax is disgusting, in my opinion.
Absolutely do not use Brave. Just use Firefox mobile as well, it has ublock origin, sponsorblock, and background play.
Also, while it’s a bit rough around the edges, recanced YouTube still exists
Another good option for iOS is YTLite
I have yet to see a reason for not using Brave that wouldn’t also apply to Firefox developer Mozilla. That includes appeals to morality, control from Big Tech, etc.
If Brave works (and on iOS it’s basically the only option with a reliable ad blocker) then I don’t see a reason to avoid it.
Would love to see somebody levy a complaint that doesn’t also apply to Firefox. Any takers?
