Brave is the default on my one-year-old Samsung cell phone I recieved for my 89th birthday last year...
Since it was my first smart phone (definitely miss that 12-year-old flip phone I gave up), I handed it to my daughter (an IT engineer of some sort) as she had said she would set it up for me...
Turns out that she was busy and she handed it off to my 23-year-old granddaughter (who is in medical school & was home for Thanksgiving) who accomplished the task...
Granddaughter will be home again in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving (and my 90th) and I’ll get the details from her...

Now you have to sift through screens of paid ads to get to the result you are searching for. Unless, of course, the site you are looking for paid enough to Google to move up the list.
