dont have a browser on it

While we're on the subject of cleaning phones, how do you clear the cache and stuff on a mobile phone?

Depends on the type of phone... Is it Windows, Apple, Android or Linux? I see that there has been advice given to clear history but that only works within your web browser; the actual info is still on your device. I also saw a response that claimed to not have a browser. If you can use the device to access the Internet you are using a browser; not opinion, just straight fact.

I don't use the phone for the internet.

I think the phone is an android but can't guarantee it coz I know nothing about mobile phones other than they give me the poops.

You mentioned you had email access on it, it's either an older "feature phone" or a smartphone. And both had browsers, as far as I remember.

Switch to Brave, you won't look back. Based on Chrome so feels very similar and works/syncs across Android / Windows etc but far more privacy and built in Ad blockers.

Oops think again- This is from The Verge and it will affect all Chromium based browsers.

Firefox and Chrome are squaring off over ad-blocker extensions​

I refuse to register with Google and will never ever use Chrome nor a Chromium based browser.

I don't use the phone for email. the phone has somehow picked up my email address and now has my latest emails on it even tho I didn't do anything

Yes but there's at least a year before that kicks in and will need to wait and see how brave etc deals with the changes. Worst case is move to Firefox, which isn't terrible really.

If it's a Gmail address, then I'm 100% sure you have an android phone, and you signed in during setup, or with any of google affiliated services, like maps or youtube, for example. If it's any other email service, you still had to have signed in from the phone, either via an app or browser, because there is simply no other way the phone could just "get" your email.

Yes but there's at least a year before that kicks in and will need to wait and see how brave etc deals with the changes. Worst case is move to Firefox, which isn't terrible really.

If brave and others don't fork chromium at that point, they will lose a lot of customers, and other smaller forks even Mozilla forks, will be more widely used. Eventually something else will come along. Back in the 90s microsoft was as arrogant as google is now regarding their browser dominance, and look at them now, they're the joke of web browsers.

I believe that @Rocky998 uses his phone to access the site.

You cant block adds on mobile

unless if you use firefox, firefox has plugins on mobile which has ublock origin

That's a great idea!! I wish I could be part of that but I don't have the funds myself to do something like that...

Like I said before, I don't mind ads, as long as they are not interfering TOO MUCH... But thank you very much for setting up that program! It's a brilliant idea

I love all the perks with it to...
