I have bookmarks in Brave. There is a bookmarks toolbar and a bookmarks manager.
I haven’t tried mass importing bookmarks so I don’t know if that’s an option. I’ve just been creating bookmarks within Brave.

Okay, I just looked and there is an ‘import bookmarks from html function’ available in the menu bar. How that works, I dunno.

Alternative browser gushing promotion... PING!
You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".
Thanks to Tolerance Sucks Rocks for the ping!!
I don't know about the "You absolutely MUST..." part, or all the "fabulous" description, you understand... I just ping to stuff you guys might be interested in... :-)

" You can bookmark, but it's not easy ☹️ "
Just click the star to the right of the URL address. I haven't figured out how to get everything into a folder yet but adding a bookmark is pretty simple. Otherwise I'd be stumped.

If my son hadnt used this laptop in Afghanistan i would have gone with Linux on it. Too sentimental.Dare I ask?
Please tell us he returned stateside in good health.

I’ve been running it on my ‘experimental’ Win10 machine since Feb. or so (experimental in that I was given a Win7 machine with fairly decent specs but really had no use for another machine, so I ‘allowed’ Windows to update itself to Win10 rather than subject my own machines to that process.)
Brave has been improving with each update, but keep in mind that it is still for practical purposes in ‘beta’ so not everything that could be/would be in the final release version is in there.
My opinion so far is that when it is ‘finished’ I probably will replace Firefox with it.

Thank you for the post. I dropped Firefox for Opera, but will give Brave a try also. Eich was Mozilla’s loss.

Yeah there’s a lot of sites itn still doesn’t support. For some reason I can’t get it to log on to my ATT email account, I can’t see quotes at NASDAQ.
Still a work in progress but what it does do it does reallly fast.

Looks like they have a Linux version. I’ll check it out. I’d heard previously it was going to be win and osx only.

I haven’t had any of these problems. Imported bookmarks from Firefox, changed my home page, etc. all in under 10 minutes.

I just downloaded and installed it. It looks interesting and is probably worth following; but it looks like the ability to change text font and size is only at the wishlist level and the default they have is not very compatible with my eyesight.

Holy Crap Batman! That’s a freaking fast browser.
Wow. May have to try this out for a while.

I’ve been using it since I saw this thread earlier this afternoon.
I can actually view sites now without the popups, slowdown, crippling of the computer that I had with Win10 browser.
No problems so far.

I don’t understand what you mean by bookmarking not being easy. I right-clicked on this page, selected ‘bookmark’, and it prompted where to file it just like firefox would.

I installed it and all I get is a white screen. So far, I wouldn’t recommend it. LOL!
