Any updates to this issue? I think it would be good to have on Mobile, at least on Android, maybe iOS, since this feature is on Desktop. With the ability for users to turn it off of course. I for one would have it on just to be on the more secure side.

Hi there @OnlinePlayer865 - we are making progress 😄 We're wrapping up this feature on iOS (see https://github.com/brave/brave-ios/pull/1339) and are looking to merge soon (iOS product version 1.19?). We can then look at doing this on Android after taking care of some other priority work. I believe @jumde would be able to look at this in the next few months. Thanks for your patience! 😄

Perfect! Didn't think to check the iOS page. Thank you for the info!
