What does everyone here think of this web browser?
ThioJoe seems to like it.
Brave Browser
Jacob Bell
Austin Bell
I like it but it seems like you can't skip youtube ads, which is annoying.
Julian Gutierrez
>blocks ads
>inserts ads from its own ad network
>pays users for viewing ads in (((cryptocurrency)))
Andrew Flores
chrome skin
Jayden Walker
Thiojoe went from a funny troll to a super generic tech reviewer
Ryder Stewart
Cryptocurrency is the future.
Hudson Bell
except that you can't use the currency you get from watching ads for anything else other than giving a tip to a website
Lucas Davis
decent on phone, shit on desktop
Jace Adams
Thiojoe can go fuck himself.
Jordan Myers

Lack of being able to customize the homepage and homepage for incognito tabs is quite annoying
Landon Phillips
Thiojoe is a faggot.
Brave is meh. I used it on Android for a while, and it was fine, but made pornhub difficult. I use Firefox with addons like a white man now.
Jace Cruz
It was always opt-in.
Fennec is a good choice too. Proprietary blobs removed and therefore reduced app size.

>advertisements are necessary
if you're a bad content creator who can't produce content people are willing to pay for.
>being a youtuber is not a real job, it's a hobby
>it's not my duty to pay for your hobby
>sll your content or get a real job
Dylan Cruz
Chrome based, so the font rendering on Windows is unbearable.
I'll keep Firefox.
Caleb Turner
then don't opt in.
Dominic Mitchell
They just shit all over their beta users with V 0.57, by turning it into another fucking Chromebot.
Fuck these people. I don't care how much faster it's become, it's still a goddamn RAM hog, and based on botnet.
Oliver Barnes
I'm using it right now. Disabled the crypto shit though. I love it.
Nolan Reyes
Who gives a fuck what he thinks. The retard that made the video about wrapping ethernet cables around your phone for better cell service
Andrew Morris
>fennec
somehow still manages to exhaust all of 2GB core on an 8way goldstar phone with andriod 8.1
or, that is one fat fox
Benjamin Price
No more brave threads pls, ty.
Easton Jones
WTF just happened with the latest update? It's just Chrome, right?
Dominic Morris
Something's wrong, I wanted to update Brave but for some reason it just installed Chrome.
Nolan Clark
Garbage.
Nicholas Morris
you can sell it for USD on Coinbase
Hudson Smith
Well, it depends on the device, but with extensions it wouldn't be unexpected.
Cameron Garcia
It was great until this retarded update today. Now half of Jow Forums's functionality doesn't work if you have the shields enabled, even with script blocking turned off.
Jace Ward
just an adblocker (tried ABP, original adblock, and the various ublock forks)
Michael Flores
Fingerprint protection doesn't work at all. It DOES change the WebGL fingerprint to "undetermined" and your canvas fingerprint is spoofed. But, nothing else is done to make your browser non-unique.
Tor tabs lack any additional anti-fingerprint methods. They don't isolate system fonts nor do they spoof your user agent or have a way to force the browser to a specific resolution uniform to all other Brave Tor users. Your desktop resolution is also revealed. This means tor tabs are completely useless as your privacy is trivial to breach.
Brave users are a minority among Tor users, which means even when using a Tor tab you can be uniquely identified. The only thing you're able to mask is what website you visit, and that's only from your ISP. All ad companies and trackers still know which sites you visit in Tor tabs.
The Brave adblocker is trash compared to uBlock Origin. First, it seems to be based on AdBlockPlus which performs significantly worse than uBO. The performance is difference is massive if you enable any additional block lists in Brave's blocker. Which you have to because Brave's adblocker is not only inefficient, but also lacks a ton of filters by default and a lot of ads will still be displayed. Also, uBlock Origin blocks domains instead of just hiding ads, plus it has a script blocker and an element picker.
(((PIA))) partnership.
Has proprietary addons.
tldr Brave browser is trashware and scamware and isn't any better than just using iridium/un-googled chromium. Use Firefox.
Gavin Hall
why the update to create 2 separate browsers
Jaxon Fisher
Muon version is deprecated. The update migrated everyone to the new Chromium build.
Owen Campbell
I've been happy with Brave until the fucking update today. Back to Firefox, I guess...
Cameron Thompson
i see. the old version was comfy. this new one has big font and not enough on the screen. feels squished
Andrew Butler
Pajeet tier browser
Carter Scott
Why has the entire technology industry become completely unable to create anything without forking some google project? Is this the result of millennials entering the workforce or did programmers just get incredibly lazy in the last five years?
Austin Green
Well with this new update, it's another Google Chrome clone. Guess it's back to Tor now
