Problems with Brave iOS

[johnnycho]

On the iOS version of Brave, loading an *.eth.xyz profile seems to auto-open every modal that has a video and then eventually crashes the browser.

This issue does not occur on the Brave desktop browser on a Mac. Haven't yet tested Brave on Windows or Android.

Not sure how much of an edge case this is. The Brave browser still has very low market share, but is gaining traction and has gotten a lot of press as an alternative to Chrome. It may be more popular among crypto users in particular.

On the other hand, some of Brave’s more attractive crypto-related features have been disabled in the iOS version because of Apple’s rules, so even crypto users may be less inclined to use Brave on iOS.

The difficulty with iOS Brave from a developer standpoint is that it’s not included in front-end tools such as Browserstack, and sites like CanIUse have yet to track Brave so it's hard to know what parts of the code are breaking the site.

Does anyone have any ideas/feedback on this?
