How does it compare to Brave on Android? Does Puffin have any adblocking type stuff?

WAYYYY faster than brave.
Nowhere near as good as brave privacy wise though. You get bing or google for search engine choices
No bitwarden integration either so thats a huge hit for me as a daily driver, but for java heavy websites like crypto currency exchanges, puffin is unbeatable!

Why would they have Java on a website made this millennium?

Is there a feature list somewhere?
I use FF/GC/Edge due to their feature sets and extensions capabilities... I don't see anything about Puffin.

Puffin relies on cloud servers to be fast.

I wouldn't use as a daily driver. Kinda of neat to test though. Load mangolassi with it and you will see.

Puffin's JavaScript engine and cloud computing technology use servers to preprocess and compress web pages, achieving loading times up to 5x faster and saving up to 90% of your bandwidth vs. regular web browsing.More info:
https://www.puffinbrowser.com/windows/explain_cloud_server/
When you browse with Puffin’s cloud server, the page will load faster, your computer will be more secure and it will save more CPU and memory.Puffin will first load webpage in its high speed cloud servers, and send compressed data to your computer. Your page load speed is faster not only because the cloud server preprocesses the webpage, but also because it compresses data so that you download less data to show the webpage.
The cloud server also secures your computer by blocking any malicious website from your computer. Because the webpages are processed in the cloud, any malicious code has absolutely no chance of reaching your computer. Your computer will only receive 100% safe data from the cloud servers.
When using the cloud server to share the load of web browsing, you can save more than 50% CPU load and memory usage compares to other web browsers.

How does it work with youtube.com? That could save some serious bandwidth if it's sending the video stream and all that compressed.

Last time I used Puffin was to test a Flash site back in 2015 made by IBM, since then I have not used it.
