    Could be a great browser - now, good with some exceptions

    Date: Dec 30 2021
    Summary

    Despite the visual clarity of the browser screen, I'm ready to give up on Brave. There are features that don't work as expected, and trying to get support ha been useless.

    Positive

    The viewing screen, for me with vision problems, is exceptional. Pages load swiftly. The typeface shows up cleanly against generous white space. If I didn't have to use other aspects of the software, I would have given 5 stars.

    Negative

    How do I say this? Having been a Firefox user for years, I find Brave's user preferences and controls idiosyncratic and inadequate to say the least. The thing that really floors me is the obsession by the users with something called the "Wallet". The community message board is so dominated with problem/complaints about users' wallets, that you can't get an answer to a user's technical question.

    Safest browser with unique perks.

    Date: Nov 24 2021
    Summary

    Overall, Brave Browser gives an ad-free browsing experience. It does not record browsing history and takes data security very seriously.

    Positive

    - Brave browser is a user data security oriented browser that provides some unique features along with the performance.
    - The best feature is the popups and ads blocking, especially on YouTube.
    - It does not eat up a lot of RAM while running.
    - It supports almost all the extensions that are supported by other browsers.

    Negative

    - The only area in which this browser lacks is the look and feel and overall user interface. The browsing feels slow, even though it is fast because of the animations.

    Brave Browser - Chromium Web Browsing at its Best

    Date: Jun 25 2021
    Summary

    I had been using the standard Chrome browser for quite a few years and recently I became interested in finding an alternative that offered more customization and control of my online privacy.
    I tried several but I missed the familiarity of the Chromium interface.
    Then I found Brave - the search was over! Brave builds upon Chrome exactly where the original was lacking. It adds robust ad-blocking, anti-tracking code, browser fingerprint blocking, auto upgrading websites to https for full encryption, as well as several options to integrate with blockchain and open source technology.
    Brave also handles ads in a clever way. You can choose to allow a certain number of ads per hour and by doing so you can earn BAT tokens. These tokens can be used to tip your favorite developers or saved up to redeem how you wish later. When I want uninterrupted browsing time I turn the ad blocker on. When I'm browsing more casually I will allow a few ads per hour to earn BAT from. They are hardly intrusive also which is great.

    As far as privacy settings, Brave gives the options of " Off, Standard, & Strict " generally. This goes for anti tracking data websites can attach to you, cookies, fingerprint blocking (another tricky way websites can link you to your browsing), ad injections, and more.
    Be careful though, the strict settings can cause many websites to lose functionality. I adjust the settings based on the level of privacy I want at the time. A good bonus is that you can temporarily disable the blocking when a website seems broken to see if the blockers are the problem.

    Brave also offers quite a few advanced settings such as how DNS is resolved or how it interacts with ipfs.org. I suggest reading the Brave help documents before attempting to adjust any settings you aren't familiar with.

    Finally, the integration with the cryptocurrency space is fantastic. It has a built in version of Metamask wallet and also can resolve ENS domains. There is even direct connection to popular crypto exchanges right from a new tab.

    Whether or not your working with cryptocurrency, Brave Browser is fast, reliable, highly customizable (maybe a little lacking in instructions however), and can handle tons of tabs without missing a beat. It's also intuitive enough to learn as you go. If you come from Chrome you will feel especially at home, just with significantly more control over the tracks you leave as you browse and a much cleaner ad-free (if you choose) experience.
    Brave is definitely now my go to browser whether I'm working or simply surfing.

    Bonus Tip: Try the multi device sync feature and share your history and bookmarks across your desktop, laptop and smartphone for seamless device hopping. Cheers!

    Positive

    -Top notch alternative for Google Chrome users looking for enhanced security, privacy and customization.
    -Can earn BAT cryptocurrency tokens in exchange for viewing ads.
    -Direct integration with cryptocurrency exchanges
    -Fast browsing, efficient memory usage

    Negative

    -Several of Brave's advanced features are lack usage support and instructions
    -Copy/Paste bug causes long lag when pasting into the address field
    -No whitelisting option to protect cookies of choice

    Privacy-centric, with rewards!

    Date: Aug 11 2021
    Summary

    Easily the #1 browser I use, for privacy and for rewards. With access to Chrome extensions, it will always be able to do what I want a browser to do!

    Positive

    Out of the box, Brave has the best privacy setup from browser to browser. Wide compatibility with Chrome extensions as it runs chromium. BAT rewards are excellent.

    Negative

    Honestly there is very little to complain about with brave. It would be great if BAT rewards and earning would sync across all your devices in your sync chain :)
