Review - Brave browser

Review

Since last three months I've been using Brave Browser on two of my computers and my phone (Google Pixel) here is my review. First of all why use it on my phone the main reason there is no "uBlock or Adblock" on Chrome or Firefox mobile browser. Brave browser is different they have a integrated ad block system, and I can confirm its work perfectly. I was skeptic my first thought was they probably get paid by some ads company so brave could just show which ads brave want. But I found the project was on Github open source and no “bullshit” so everyone can look at their code.

In my case when I'm choosing a web browser is by their performances and resources management mainly. I like to stay all my tabs open... On my desktop I'm using maybe 50-60 tabs and more splits between two screens so it's really consuming.

Personally I felt bellow 20 tabs brave is much more efficient and over that number he seems "laggy" and he need to be restarted more often. It's something they might correct on the previous version. What my this browser different is because they have integrated an “ad block” into it and change the way website are paid.

Brave Payments allows publishers to stay in business even though you may have blocked their advertisements with Brave. All of this works while keeping your browsing history private. Your funds are transferred to the site owner through an anonymous ledger system, which makes it impossible for you ever to be identified based on the sites you visit and support.

Another interesting thing is multiple password manager are integrated like Lastpass, 1Password, Dashlane. Security is one of their priority so you can easily deactivate flash, fingerprint protection, block phishing / malware, block scripts and auto allow https.

I think it's might be one great replacement for Chrome or Firefox later on development.
