Very minimalist and fast
In ah attempt to cut down on random companies tracking me and storing/selling my data I switched from chrome to opera, which I didn’t enjoy using, then found Brave and haven’t looked back.
It’s fast, sleek, secure abs more importantly it’s a no nonsense, simplistic browser that just does its job and nothing more. It’s based on chromium so it’s a familiar experience and you can import all your chrome settings like bookmarks etc.
Would 100% recommend this on all platforms to permanently replace any other browser!

Super FAST!! Amazing app DOWNLOAD IT! You won’t regret it
Update:so now it’s doing the same exact thing as the other apps for the site. Deleting this. That lasted a whole day
So I literally never write reviews (I know I’m sure people say that a lot) but I honestly don’t I could care less but I knew if there was someone out there unsure like me I had to share how awesome this app is. I have safari on my iPhone which is alright but for some reason Walmart (don’t judge I mean hey they have great prices!) just doesn’t want to load it or will half load and take forever or it would load in like writing with no pictures or like a different layout with no button to press on for next page basically just a mess and Thats on strong WiFi so I kept having refresh or put it in desktop mode til it would work and mind you that other sites would load no problem it was just this one so I had chrome downloaded because I love chrome and I knew sometimes it would load better in chrome then safari (but still sometimes even on there same thing) so I decided to look in the App Store and this pops up I decide to give it a try what do I have to lose and instantly it loads in a millisecond and no problems at all and the page loads correctly! I’ve never had anything load that quick and the page works fine (finally!!) and as do other sites too this app is awesome bottom line you won’t regret downloading it I sure don’t!! Hope this helps someone decide :)

Used to be awesome
I liked brave when I was rewarded bat coin for adds, but with the new update, I don’t get any thing because apple apparently wants the money from the ads that uses my data that I pay for. This is the last apple product I will ever purchase.
Can easily swap search engines
You can not edit the URL on a search engine page. I had wanted to search in duckduckgo by default and then be able to edit the URL to use google when the results are bad. Clicking on the address bar only lets me edit my last search term.
Then I realised there are options down the bottom to switch search engine... this is great!
4 not 5 stars because once in private mode I have not figured out how it’s possible to get back to your other tabs without closing the app

trbled
My beloved Brave used to be ‘Advert Free’. What has happened that I now have Sunny Dee commercials in my life ! ?
Another annoying update
This time they moved the Brave Shields Global Settings an additional menu level down, making it more tedious to turn scripts off and on. You also have to back out to the top menu level to hit Done after making changes.
Also, now when you hit the bookmark icon instead of immediately seeing your favourites it shows a folder named Mobile Bookmarks which you then have to select to see your favourites.
UI updates should make the user experience better — not worse.

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback and concern about bookmarks access. We're currently looking at all options to make bookmarks even easier to reach in near future updates. Thank you for using Brave!
Excellent. Browser
Switched after Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and every “mainstream” media outlet began censoring the 2020 election disaster. Won’t go back - this is built on the Chromium API and it migrated all of my Google data and extensions with ease. Combined my VPN and its built-in ad blocks and tor, this is an incredible browser. If you have Chrome or Chromium, just remove your ad block extensions and set up your own rewards in cryptos if you want to get paid a little... I mean a little... to view ads your might want. It’s a very good browser and is much faster than Chrome while using a ton less resources. Did it on my Linux boxes, MacBooks, PC’s, and my phones with virtually no setup. Removing profiles is tricky because the little “x” on the desktop browser is hidden in the profile manager but other than that this thing is a 10/10 all day.

Just another bait and switch
I’ve been using duck duck go for awhile now and thought I would give these guys a try because of the Tor capability. I deleted it about 30 minutes later and will not be leaving duck duck go. The reason is simple, it’s just another corp bait and switch. The free browser is limited and the complete version is $10 month. I’m confident that if you wanted to research the company. You would find that someone is the friend of the half brother who dated the daughter of the sister who’s aunt knows a VP in google. What we need right now is pioneers who understand that because of the adulterous relationship between tech and government we have been taxed to death and don’t have $10 a month. So don’t preach to me about the horrors of big tech and then turn around and try to steal my last $10.

No idea how I did without this...
Paired with a VPN, finally less annoying ads and more peace of mind. Great app.
It doesn’t have screen lock
You can’t lie in bed on the side and read articles. You can’t lay down and read with Brave because the screen keeps turning and you have to stop and physically lock the screen in the Apple settings. Chrome doesn’t need to do that. You can comfortably choose to read on the side without having to manually change a setting. I’ll adjust my review when they fix this.
