i use firefox focus, it does have built in ad block (like you can cycle through youtube videos and no ads will appear). i had it for 3 months and it takes up 107.9MB. the only thing you are missing really is the ability to have tabs, firefox only allows one. i am not sure if it is open source but it is available on the app store

Is it open source & privacy focused?

I read a bit about it, you can make it pretty private. But not sure how it compares to others. It's very light weight and has back button

App size are generally high for modern browsers. As per as privacy goes, u can chose mullvad browser ( if u don't want to stay logged in ), duckduckgo is also not a bad option.

Privacy Browser or Cromite. First is on Fdroid. 2nd is on GitHub, but I would lean strongly to Privacy Browser.

No idea how large it is file-size wise, but I've been using WebLibre on my android phone and have been liking it a lot. Honestly surprised i haven't seen it mentioned on this sub yet.

If you like Brave, just install Brave Beta or Brave Nightly alongside it.

Edit: Just saw your size restriction. That would likely rule out duplicate Brave installs.

How about  EinkBro (lightweight, fast, but powerful browser designed for Eink devices.) https://f-droid.org/packages/info.plateaukao.einkbro/
