The suggestion that Brave might be a better alternative is hilarious, and places into doubt everything else that video suggests.<p>Brave is a crypto wallet and advertising platform that happens to come with a web browser.
I'm not seeing what the "catastrophic" issue is. A site can include a link to install an app from a third-party marketplace and, when the user affirmatively acts to proceed with the install, that marketplace can see which site the install request came from.<p>That's it?
Apple claims allowing users to install software from 3rd parties is a security problem, and then when forced to allow it they introduce security problems. Hmmm..

* The limiting factor of this attack is that a marketplace must first be approved by Apple before it can undertake this sort of tracking. *<p>Seems like a Catch-22 that Apple is required to support these other marketplaces out of their control but simultaneously expected to prevent them from behaving badly.
