“Clean interface”

Pros

Browser is really easy and the interface is simple enough that it encourages more people to use it. I also like the customization options.. especially the built-in ad blocker. Some websites push annoying or even shady fake ads and blocking those helps reduce the risk of malware or getting hit with a virus. Privacy features are another standout for me, private browsing and the privacy controls have come in handy when I run into sites trying to track or grab my IP address.

Cons

Something I wish was different is the account setup, there's no option to change the profile picture after creating an account in Brave. It would be great to be able to update it or at least have more profile picture choices. Right now the default option feels a bit plain and boring and additional variety would make it feel more personal.

“Impressive privacy and tracking protection”

Pros

The biggest win for me is how easy it is to set up. On Windows, I can grab the installer, run it and the browser is installed without any hassle. It also comes with built-in privacy features that automatically block things like browser fingerprinting and other tracking methods and that has the added bonus of helping pages load faster.

Cons

What I don't fully love is the crypto-related button in the URL bar. Also, the home screen shows ads by default which is technically simple to turn off but not everyone is going to notice the setting or bother changing it.

“Reward system is good”

Pros

Where do I start? The browser is a super... fast, minimalistic browser. Speed is the main reason I stick with it, it feels really quick day to day. I also appreciate the privacy controls since the settings can be designed to what you want. Also, there's an option to earn money just by browsing. Coming from Chrome, I was able to import all my bookmarks and saved passwords without any hassle.

Cons

Using it noticeably increases CPU activity. It's probably no big deal on a newer laptop but on an older PC it could be a concern.

“smooth syncs save time”

Pros

Earning money feature is one of the biggest reasons I use this browser, it's genuinely impressive. I also appreciate the level of browser customization since it lets me shape it the way I want. Also, syncing with its browsers on other devices has been great so my setup follows me everywhere.

Cons

Not much to mention here since I haven't run into many issues.

“good speed”

Pros

At first, I was a bit skeptical about switching from Chrome to Brave but once I started using it every day, it became clear how much better this one is overall. The ad blocking and tracker blocking features work really well and I also appreciate that Tor access is built into the browser. Even though it's Chromium-based, it actually feels faster than Chrome for me. The ability to install Chrome extensions also made the transition much less stressful than I expected. Plus, earning BAT through random ads is a nice extra benefit.

Cons

I have no cons to tell here. it works so well

“web loading has issues”

Pros

The built-in Thor browser and the torrent client are genuinely great additions, those two features feel like a big win.

Cons

Even though some pages load perfectly in Chrome or other browsers, this app often fails to load certain web pages or they show up broken. Also, the rewards system doesn't make much sense to me and ends up being pretty annoying.

“Great!!”

Pros

This is an open-source browser that feels quick and efficient. The privacy-first approach really distinguishes it from other browsers. I dislike how Chrome serves ads based on my browsing history but with Brave that's not something I have to worry about. The interface is easy too and the menu items are laid out in a clean organized way. Moving from Firefox to Brave was also pretty painless.. I was able to import my bookmarks, saved passwords and browsing history without much hassle. After switching, I stopped seeing ads on websites I visit regularly and what matters most to me is that it doesn't store my user data. The incognito mode is another big win since it lets me browse more anonymously by blocking trackers effectively. I use this tab quite often especially when checking flight ticket prices.

Cons

After more than a year of use, I haven't run into any real downsides.
