Brave is my favored browser FWIW. Also mine -- with all the crypto business turned off and a VPN other than the one Brave is selling. Firefox is my backup.

Same. Great ad blocking built-in and easy access to private browsing. Hope they come through ok.

I really like Brave. It is fast and does a fantastic job filtering our garbage on web pages.
I use Safari a lot, but it frequently stalls out and just stops loading pages, then throws errors. It’s “Reader” view is good, but often the second half of a page isn’t visible or comments aren’t visible.

Brave orginally estimated that its Rewards feature, would occupy only 10 percent of the support/labor effort; but, Rewards and BAT (not-quite-cryptocurrency) ended up occupying more than 50 percent of the support/labor effort.
Brave Rewards means accumulated BAT’s, not accumulated crypto-currency; the expectations of cryptocurrency-hopefuls, grew dramatically, complicating the administration of Brave Rewards and BAT.
A major difficulty was with the software that managed the accounting of, and for, Brave Rewards - including the many, often, relentless mis-understandings of Brave customers, re How the Rewards and BAT system(s) actually work.
Also, there have been many users - particularly foreign - who repeatedly figured ways to game the Brave Rewards and BAT system, and acquire BAT in violation of Brave guidelines.
Such users would find themselves frozen out from their un-just rewards. But a system at Brave, intended to weed out the “crooked,” could also “find” false-positives and freeze out customers who had not been trying to “steal” BAT.
I am reporting what I observed from the outside, and not as an employee.

I hardly use it anymore as my search engine. The results clearly have just as much of a Leftist bias as Google.
I switched the Yandex. Try doing a search on any political subject on Brave/Google. Then type the same thing into Yandex. The differences are AMAZING.

I using it right now, but the built-in ad blocker blocks Disqus. I like the built-in snowflake so I can help people in countries where they’re being censored can still go to sites they want.

I test search engines by typing in my name. Bing works the best for me.
