Chrome but better
It has built in crypto garbage (my opinion) but aside from that, it’s like Chrome but better and it doesn’t spy on you (spies less at least🤷🏼♂️)
Terrible browser and now all the search responses are AI based
Just run. Do not use. It doesn't offer any privacy unless you go way out of your way to set it up that way. You're better off using incognito in Safari. And not only that, they are giving you AI responses to your searches for the first entire page and if you're not careful you might actually believe some of that nonsense. AI responses are still terrible the technology is no good at this point and any user who is fooled by the AI should just delete this browser because it's both terrible in terms of functionality, does not prevent you from being tracked all over the Internet as it claims, and if you're not paying attention you're gonna believe a piece of AI garbage that isn't true. There is nothing about this browser that makes it worth downloading. All their claims to privacy are nonsense unless you set it up in a very particular fashion that most people are not gonna know how to do. And now that the first page of responses is pure AI you really need to run for your life, because AI thinks it's good advice if you ask how to keep cheese from sliding off your pizza it'll tell you to add a quarter cup of nontoxic glue. That's an AI response.

Brave is amazing
It is so much better than chrome, safari and every other web browser I have tried. It comes with an automatic ad blocker which works super well. I’ve been informed by some privacy tech experts that brave is the most respectful of your private information than any other search engine right now, which is neat IMO.
You can do normal searches like on chrome but it’s faster because there’s no personal data tracking and add loading that’s happening in the background, and you can also click on the AI assist option instead of pressing “enter”, which enables brave’s AI to summarise and simplify your search, making getting the information a lot easier and faster.
I can’t recommend this app enough. If a developer or something is reading this; Well done, I’m so glad I found this search engine.
Btw: I’ve only had brave for a few months and there are wayy more features I still haven’t mentioned, and many I heavnt tried.
Thanks for reading.

Absolutely incredible app‼️
I’ve been using Brave for about a month or so now and have loved it. Haven’t had a single issue at all from both the iPhone app and the Mac app on my laptop.
Functionality is second to none and I honestly mean that. I’ve been a google chrome user since it was released and never thought I would use any other browser.
For the last month I’ve been using Brave as an alternative to Chrome and I’m so impressed that i can’t recommend it more highly. Longtime Google Chrome users like myself struggle with using other browsers due to the difference in the interface and functionality of other browsers. However, Brave gives you the option to basically import your entire Chrome setup and layout onto the Brave browser. This gives users the comfort and ‘ease’ of using the Chrome layout, but also gain the added protection and security that Brave provides. (Btw, not having to manually import your entire Chrome bookmarks onto Brave is incredibly helpful)
Seriously, I have been recommending Brave to everyone and anyone. Criminally underrated app. 10/10!!

Browser has many errors
This app constantly closes my Private tabs. Even when I leave for just a minute, or turn off my phone, all of my incognito tabs are gone. Even when I turn on this feature that lets me "keep" them, it still will close them, although keeping them, but the cookies are deleted, essentially as if you closed and reopened them. Occasionally, when I leave the app for a bit, instead of closing my tabs, the screen will go black and won’t fix itself unless I close the app. Sometimes it deletes ALL of my tabs (including my normal tabs), and although offering to reopen them, pressing reopen does nothing, so you have to open them again manually. It also has issues loading certain sites, where they'll just endlessly load without an end, slowing down the browser, primarily wiki websites (with the exception of Wikipedia). Some of these problems may be with WebKit, and not the Brave browser in general, but still. In addition, you added a share button over the forward button, which I have had problems with over me accidentally clicking on it and almost sending a page to my contacts. I wish this was made optional, and you could turn it off instead of it being stuck there. I hope you can look into, and fix some of these errors.

So fast, love it
Brave is so much faster it feels like a phone upgrade. I was using safari and thinking I needed a new phone because of how slow safari was as a browser. Turns out it just sucked.
LET ME TURN OFF AI FEATURES I DON’T WANT
Edit: one starring because for the love of god, I downloaded an alternative browser because I wanted to get away from the garbage fire product google has been forcing out the last few years; now even brave has forcibly integrated AI into the browser without a way to turn it off. I’ll be looking for something else.
I love that Brave delivers the security & ad features I need, shows me what it’s blocking, and even supports chromium based extensions on desktop, all without the limitations in features of other privacy browsers. Full support for bookmarks, password managing if you want it, and you can choose to enable desktop & mobile sync or keep them separate. As much as I care about the software & programs I use and get really into their features and quirks, I don’t necessarily run around yelling about them to anyone who will listen. Brave, on the other hand, I have been actively and insistently encouraging my friends and family to use! Love this browser. And for anyone put off by the crypto earning/brave wallet thing (which often reads scammy to me in any context), don’t worry. It’s easy to disable and not in any way intrusive if you don’t want to use it. (I can’t vouch for its usability since I don’t use it, but it looks legitimate if you *are* into crypto and want to earn some passive pocket change.)

Response from developer
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! We appreciate your support for Brave and your participation in building a better web for everyone.
Very good, just a few little things
Edit: Using iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16.7.2. Along with troubles playing audio while the phone is closed, audio from one video will play over another. Also, Picture-in-Picture will be activated in-app, though the app was not closed. Love the app: very secure, LOTS of security features and customizable settings - very much appreciated - though I have a few little things: Is it possible to add an option to stop videos on closing the phone, but still enable background audio? There are times when I need to close my phone, i.e. getting off break, while watching a video, and opening it up to pause it can be fiddley. The background audio cuts in and out sometimes while playing when I close my phone as well. I would like to request an option for a customizable background for the home screen. But I understand if that is how the app gets its ad funding. This isn’t an urgent request, but maybe have a customizable app icon, using different colors, etc.? Thank you for providing such a great browser, and I hope to hear from you soon!

how to clear saved data
the site is great but the saved data takes a lot of storage. I can clear the private data but not the saved data. The est saved data is different from the private data which is in settings so it won’t clear the est saved data. I’m trying to find the est saved data in settings so I can delete it but I can’t find it. I wanted to delete and reinstall the app to see if the saved data resets but I can’t since I have bookmarked important sites. if it’s possible I want to delete unnecessary saved data while keeping the important saved data to save storage space

Régulièrement ne fonctionne plus sur ipad
Used to be great on ipad. Now it's impossible to use it, especially with youtube and the adblocks.
Please check that when its possible.
Thank you
On a computer, it works well.
