@rtrcam With IB you actually own the stock, for example you have voting rights as a shareholder. On the other hand etoro states that they buy the stock in your behalf (if you have cash account they say that it is not CFD - contract for difference). But personally, they gave me no evidence that you actually own the stock.
What it means for you? With IBKR you actually own the stock and have all the rights as shareholder. With Etoro you don't but it is very simple and easy to use.
If I were you, I would choose IBKR. But always make your own research and decision, don't trust random people on internet.
Good luck with your future investing.
