Brave web browser

[rob4001]

I recommend people try out this browser as an alternative. I used to use firefox but requires a ton of plugins brave is pretty good out the box for blocking ads etc. Mobile browser is good also.

disclaimer: I do not work for Brave

I use Brave as a Chrome alternative seeing as it it a Chrome fork (as far as I know) on my Android phone. The only thing I have found annoying is with Reddit. As it blocks cookies, I assume, I keep getting the show this in our app thing and have to close it on every post and strange lt there is a long delay in showing the actual post as well, almost like they have intentionally delayed it by like 5 to 10 seconds.

I will start using it when it starts to support chrome extentions

I have been using it for the past month and I love it. It's very fast with ad blocking and tracker blocking built-in. The newest version, which they released a few weeks ago, is based on Chromium and supports most Chrome extensions. Worth a look!

Didn't use it. Will have a try....

I've been using it the last 3 weeks, it's pretty good.

I use it as the default browser on android, where it works great for ad blocking.

I used it on the desktop for a while, but it did have problems with a few websites which I now can't remmeber - I'll revisit it again now. A good plus is that it has lastpass built in.

Seems nice enough.
I don't really use many plugins on any of my browsers anyway and lots of the stuff Brave has would similarly go unused, but fair play for offering us more options.

I've been using it for years now, love it. Still have chrome because some websites break with everything it blocks.

[redlizer]

Have been using it on my Mac for two months and has problem with the latest version. It asks me password every time I open the browser, it is f**k annoying

[Croupier]

I just recently started using the Brave browser on my phone, great little browser, looking forward to finally finishing my new pc build and using the Brave browser on my desktop collecting all that Basic Attention Token goodness.

Using Brave during a few last months, also use Cliqz, Firefox, Chrome. Can say that Brave is a good one, if you looking for easy and safe surfing

I used them too, but Microsoft’s Chromium Edge browser is the best according to my own experience. light weight and consume less computing resource such as CPU and Memory
