Great, but can’t access passwords
This is a great browser, probably the best mobile one in my honest opinion and wayyy better than Safari because it blocks ads, allows you to easily search with different search engines, and actually shows the different tabs at the top. However, Idk if this is a security thing but now that I have most of my passwords on iCloud and Brave I rely on both whenever i forget them and unfortunately there is no way to view my Brave passwords on mobile (at least for iOS). This is extremely annoying because then I have to hop on my computer and spend a couple minutes opening up my passwords and finding the correct one. It would be nice if it just worked exactly like it did on the desktop version of Brave.
Also, with the new Safari rolling out in November, maybe it’s time to consider a design refresh based off of user response to the new Safari and other browsers. Current design is the best imo on mobile but maybe it could be improved further and beat out the competition.

Brave is BEST
I never write reviews about things even if I really like them but Bave browser on PC and iOS is something I can’t recommend Enough, if you’re on the fence about it let this review help you onto the better side. Brave is better then chrome in every way, hardly any adds on YT because of the blocker, Super fast loading times Free Crypto !! That can be traded into other cryptos !! If you can’t get your hands on crypto this is the place to start !! This browser should me 1 million times bigger than google so get into it now before the hype and be the envy of everyone when you have 50 BAT the crypto they reward you for using the browser !! The don’t shove their own adds over the top either braves user experience is smoother than Google chrome and better looking !! It stops sites from tracking you which is such a blessing in disguise !! This now sounds like I work or am gaining something out of saying this but I’m not im just another happy user who wants other people to enjoy the experience Brave browser offers !!
A happy brave lover !!

Hello there, we're glad to hear that you are enjoying Brave, and thank you for taking the time to write to us! We always appreciate positive reviews.
An excellent idea but mediocre implementation
Updated review
It seems like some things are being smoothed out but at the same time there was questionable affiliate linking, which has been supposedly removed. I hope they integrate their beta search engine as a default option, it’s needed. Frankly most other searches besides google and maybe bing are awful
Original review.
I love brave. I applaud brave. I want to use brave. However there are a few bugs (many are inconvenient ish) with one show stopper. The browser just doesn’t work with 1Password. It’s a pain to trigger, and it doesn’t fill fields properly. This is down to Brave unfortunately (1p works on literally every other browser I’ve used) If they can get it going properly with that I’m in full time, but for now - given I don’t store passwords in browser and don’t use anything less than 25 random characters - I just can’t add 50% more time to browsing going back and forth to the 1p app. Privacy is great and it is worth inconvenience - but I can accomplish what they do with other apps and various settings - including aggressive ad blocking via numerous apps available on the App Store. Kee up the great work brave. I hope to be back soon.

Going downhill
Functioning worse and worse as they add more fluff like their playlist, crypto, etc. It’s time to start looking for something else for me.
Best iOS And OsX Browser for iPhone & Mac
I would rate this browser second only to a quality TOR Onion browser in regards to privacy, anonymity, and digital footprint protections.
With its many options for privacy and security settings which includes a built in VPN designed specifically to work in tandem with the browser provides for effortless protection of your digital personal identification markers which are not only at high risk but even exploited openly by other browsers and services offered as “free” by its more well known mainstream counterparts.
If I had to rank browsers by their security features and options, both mobile and PC I would rank them:
1. Tor Onion
2. Brave
3. Duck Duck Go
As a caveat I would suggest anyone who has concerns about digital privacy to the point where they have looked at this browser to the point of actually reading my review, I would tell them to stop using the industry standard website for doing web searches and switch to the equally effective and extremely safer competitor Duck Duck Go.
I am not an employee, family member of an employee, or have been in any way influenced or incentivized monetarily or otherwise by any of the companies or products mentioned in this review. It has been written by me without request for the sole purpose of educating and informing fellow citizens of the world that are concerned with the 3rd Industrial Revolution of the digital age.

FANTASTIC BROWSER!!
If I could give it six stars, I would.
Sleek yet simple interface, love the ever-changing, gorgeous wallpaper used on the home screen. It is user-friendly, so it’s definitely worth the initial, brief effort to change over from whatever browser you use now. Brave does feel safer and better to use. I am glad I followed the recommendation of a tech expert here in NZ to switch to using Brave for security reasons. Cybersecurity is a real issue these days. So I highly recommend this browser to anyone who wants a safer, more simple yet more attractive, browsing experience! Do it today. You won’t regret it.

From Chrome to Brave
It is definitely a leap from getting brave ads on chrome to deleting chrome for brave but here we are. Brave definitely is better in that things like ecosia can be used easier and it is slightly faster. The layout is fine, some stuff is more convenient than chrome and it crashes less for me. One of the main reasons I did get it was also to get an alternative to google which has been pretty dominant and fussy in my country so brave is a great alternative for people looking to try something different! Their are some pop up bit coin things at the Home Screen but their very easy to ignore.

Best in privacy, not in interface
Brave is the best browser in terms of privacy, ad blocking, and preventing cookies/trackers. Despite all the I have noticed that the interface gives a cheap feeling. Someone who has been an Apple user for a long time, I have gotten used to the clean interface which Brave lacks, it rather complicates it by adding so many things in visible places. Also, there have been instances where I haven’t been able to access the top bar when it was hidden during interaction. Often with privacy browsers websites don’t function properly but with Brave, they seem to do find and Brave even lets you customize the type of Brave shield being used which allows you to be able to disable a certain thing that may be preventing the website from functioning properly. Overall, best privacy feature and good quality browser.

Doesn’t seem any safer than just using Safari
I’ve been using Brave for a while because I had it recommended to me as being safer and more private than just using Safari. Just did a search on Brave and clicked on what appeared to be a legit link from the results, and was redirected to an obviously dodgy “you’ve won a prize” site. I hit back and the app locked on a screen claiming that “39 viruses had been downloaded to my phone from an adult site” and trying to get me to click through to some other site to get rid of them - I had to restart my phone to get rid of it. I know that nothing is foolproof in internet security but I don’t see the point of having a separate ‘safe’ browser if I’m still going to get stuff like this (which I don’t recall ever getting on Safari).

Best browser ever
Very Happy. Excellent. I struggled with Safari constantly crashing. I couldn’t read a website without having to reload multiple times. Now I can scroll fast through Daily Mail without it crashing. I disabled JavaScript and it’s now a perfect site to enjoy. Am going to tweak the others too and import all my favourites from safari. Many thanks to the developers.
