“i rely on it”

Pros

It packs a lot of features and the ad blocker plus tracker blocker are the ones I use most. I also appreciate how customizable the whole setup is. Works nicely with Chromium-based browsers like Chrome too, things like import/export and support for plugins make switching or setup easy. Beyond that, there's a huge community behind it and the developer support has been solid. The option to earn cryptocurrency through ads is a nice extra as well.

Cons

A few plugins don't work the same way because of differences between browsers so compatibility can vary a bit. The cryptocurrency withdrawal process isn't always easy. Also, occasionally some pages end up broken or partially unusable thanks to the built-in blockers being a bit too aggressive.

“Strong privacy and ad blocking”

Pros

Privacy feels really solid and the ad blocker is the feature I use the most. It can even block ads on YouTube which is a big win. There's also a reward system tied to watching ads so you can earn some crypto just for viewing them.

Cons

Occasionally, pages don't load correctly after a refresh though things usually work again afterward. It can run a bit slower than Google Chrome but it's still acceptable for me.

“Recommendable”

Pros

What really surprised me is the built-in ad blocker. It cuts down spam, pop-ups and even ads on streaming platforms or other audiovisual content which simply didn't work that well on my phone before. Because of that, I use this one as my default browser both on my desktop and on my mobile device. It also integrates nicely with web3 apps and everything connected to the blockchain world which is another big reason I recommend it. Also, it's compatible with all extensions and plugins from its competitors so there's no real excuse to avoid switching and trying this fantastic browser

Cons

I'd like to see more options for visual customization especially a setting to force "dark page" on every site I visit. Some competing browsers include that option too and it's genuinely useful for late-night browsing.

“Loved the chrome extensions”

Pros

This browser is my favorite overall. It comes with a lot of privacy controls, including built-in blocking for ads and trackers and because it's Chromium-based, it can also run Chrome extensions, just like Microsoft Edge does. I also like that it rewards you for engaging with ads and the Brave Rewards program feels genuinely worthwhile.

Cons

Nothing negative comes to mind about this browser.

“built-in ad blocking for the win!”

Pros

Brave includes really solid ad and tracking blocking right out of the box which feels like a big step up from other browsers where you end up installing a bunch of separate add-ons to get similar protection. It also avoids the annoying habit of pushing you to log in or create an account just to keep things synced, device syncing feels more polished and smooth. Also, the browser's UI looks modern and stays out of the way which is exactly what I want from a daily driver. I also appreciate that it is crypto-friendly by default, with features like ENS domain resolution and a capable built-in browser wallet.

Cons

Found no real deal-breakers here. The only small nitpick I'd mention is that the new tab page doesn't offer as much customization as I'd like.

“no slowdown with many tabs”

Pros

The standout part of this Browser for me is how it doesn't bog down my PC even when I have a lot of tabs open at the same time. The built-in ad blocker also does its job really well, it filters out a lot of annoying and potentially harmful ads across the websites I visit. I also like the cryptocurrency feature that lets you get paid in crypto which feels pretty unique compared to more common browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Bookmarking pages is easy too so it's easy to save things and jump back later. Also, the interface is clean and simple to use and there are plenty of customization options if you want to design how it looks and behaves.

Cons

Honestly I haven't run into any downsides with this browser so far.

“Barely uses RAM!”

Pros

It looks like it uses very little RAM. The browser feels fast and it comes with helpful extras like an ad blocker and tracker blocking. Saved passwords also feel more protected since they aren't just anyone's to access.

Cons

Browser and VPN ran flawlessly for me and I've been enjoying all the features included.

“brave's strong privacy tools are great”

Pros

Genuinely, it feels like a different browser compared to the usual options and it gives a fresh browsing experience. The interface is clean and easy so it's simple to move around and access the features without getting lost. The standout part is the tracker and ad blocking which really helps it separate itself from other browsers. Also, it includes Brave Firewall plus a built-in VPN feature, designed to make your browsing more secure.

Cons

A solid alternative if you want a more secure and personalized browsing experience. There's also a rewards system where you can earn BAT tokens for viewing ads but that part has been confusing for me, my BAT amount seems to stay the same even after watching ads so it doesn't feel like the rewards are updating as expected.

“fast browser”

Pros

Honestly, it doesn't seem to use much RAM and the browser feels really quick. Also, it includes useful extra features like an ad blocker and tracker blocking. Passwords also seem to be protected in a way that makes them hard for other people to access easily.

Cons

The news articles it offers aren't designed much to my interests but that's a minor downside since it doesn't impact the browser's overall performance or core functionality.

“blocks trackers and creepy ads effortlessly”

Pros

Using this makes me feel a lot safer and more protected when I'm online. I really appreciate that it blocks trackers, ads and those annoying pop-ups which cuts down on the whole "creepy" feeling you sometimes get while browsing. The end result is a cleaner, more comfortable internet experience overall.

Cons

I get why the setup works the way it does but I'd love a simpler way to share things like settings and bookmarks across all my devices.

“A reliable software!”

Pros

Browser team really focuses on privacy and stability and that's honestly its strongest point. I use it to handle websites and manage more sensitive stuff and it's been very reliable. I haven't run into any issues so far.

Cons

Every once in a while, pretty rarely, I'm unable to access certain web pages or they don't display correctly. I'm not sure where to report it but the rest of the browser's performance has been solid enough that it doesn't bother me much.

“easy to use”

Pros

The best part for me was how easy it is to figure out and start using. I also felt a real sense of relief knowing I don't have to worry about someone tracking me 24/7 online because my privacy is built in.

Cons

Nothing about it truly bothered me. If you're brand new and used to browsers like Chrome or Firefox, switching could feel a bit unfamiliar at first but it should become comfortable with a little time.

“Everything works well”

Pros

It behaves just like Chrome but with stronger privacy. The built-in default "Shields Up" setting helps guard your browsing by blocking trackers and ads out of the box.

Cons

That protection can occasionally cause issues, every now and then you hit a site that won't display or run correctly. Usually, flipping the "Shields Up" switch off (there's a toggle on the right side of the address bar) makes everything work normally again. After years of using Brave, I've only run into one site that still wouldn't function properly even with "Shields Down," and in that case I had to fall back to Chrome to access it.

“love its anti-tracking abilities”

Pros

Genuinely, this one won me over with its privacy management and strong anti-tracking tools.

Cons

I wouldn't really call this a drawback, I'm still sticking with Chrome mostly because my Google account and my day-to-day workflow are so tightly integrated with it. Lately I've been thinking about moving over to Microsoft Office 365 too so yeah... I'm that guy. (lol)

“Amazing”

Pros

This browser has been really solid for me, it loads quickly and seems to use less RAM than the Chrome setup I used before. I also appreciate that it gives control over privacy tools, with features like anonymity and private browsing. Also, it rewards you with BAT tokens from ads which has been a nice bonus compared to other browsers.

Cons

Lately, the BAT tokens you earn per ad have dropped. The time or effort needed to earn those ads seems higher now and the number of Brave ads showing in the browser has also gone down.

“ads blocker keeps popups away”

Pros

I'm really enjoying this browser especially the Ads Blocker feature. These days, many websites bombard you with popup ads and it gets genuinely irritating. After installing it, all those popup ads are blocked and the browsing experience feels much more relaxed.

Cons

It is awesome overall but one thing is missing, support for WhatsApp Web. Opera includes a dedicated WhatsApp Web window that you can minimize and maximize whenever you want. If their team added a similar sidebar or quick panel for social media like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp Web, it would honestly be one of the best browsers I've used.

“Brave rewards are my fav part”

Pros

Really enjoy using this program especially the built-in downpour feature, big kudos for that. The BAT rewards I earned through the program also made a noticeable difference. Overall, it performs extremely well. I also like that I can import my settings and bookmarks and that it helps save battery life on my phone. There aren't any constant, annoying promotional messages and the browser is very easy to use.

Cons

Even though it's a strong app, it isn't perfect. It sometimes crashes randomly. The built-in ad blocker seems fast and the crypto-related features are a nice bonus too but occasionally some promotional content still slips through anyway. I also noticed that managing tabs and bookmarks can sometimes require using third-party tools to handle everything the way I want.

“compatibility is great”

Pros

Chose this tool because it's Chromium-based which means it brings over all the strengths of Chromium, most importantly, websites load and behave the same way as they do in Chromium/Chrome. Also, its privacy focus really stands out, with built-in protection features like an ad blocker, tracker blocker, fingerprint blocking and a scripts blocker.

Cons

Tab and bookmark handling could be better. I still end up relying on third-party tools to manage tabs and bookmarks properly.

“incredible overall”

Pros

It is a fast browser that loads webpages quickly which has made my business and academic research noticeably more efficient. Also, it feels really secure thanks to the many privacy controls it offers, things like a built-in VPN, private search, incognito windows and ad-blocking. That combination makes me feel comfortable browsing because I can rely on my personal/private data being better protected.

Cons

One downside is that it can take up a lot of storage on both my laptop and mobile device and that's pushed me to delete other apps just to keep enough space. Another frustration is that it doesn't fully display some page content.. especially videos and images.. so a few times I've ended up trying different browsers to view what I needed.

“safe and secure”

Pros

This browser feels secure and easy to use and it's genuinely private, about as much privacy as you can get from Tor. It also includes the attached cryptocurrency component and their advertising platform is honestly top-tier.

Cons

There aren't any real downsides I've run into. I browse just like I would with any other browser, except instead of random ads, I get paid rewards that land in an account I can actually use, spend or trade.
