Bout as good as it gets

In security anonymity safety and speed in browsing for the amount of security on default and the network it goes through is military grade. I believe it’s the tor network. I don’t think you can find a better browser for everyday use and stay safe and secure online as I repeat with the speeds brave produces. I don’t think I have ever maybe one time other than this have I reviewed an app. This needs to be everyone’s default browser. &$$@( google

Update it’s great and pretty much private. My problem is I was using the premium version and it was 100. Thought the price was nothing free then I take a look at my notifications and I see two charges one the brave search or vpn other was just let ke the paid one it’s not worth a couple cents a day to have a private search and vpn.

I still use brave most the time just with a different search and vpn and I don’t know that there is to much on the surface going on there. I’m sure if I looked into it they would say it has more options and better default options but it’s all a money game that’s why the dollar as well as the rest of the physical fiat is existing

Response from developer

Hi there!  We're extremely happy for your feedback, thank you so much and have a nice day!

Wonderful hotel for a amazing holiday!

We have a truly a wonderful experience at the Longbeach. Great location, probably the best in Gold Coast, close to trams, shops, restaurants, cafes and across the road from an amazing beach at Surfers Paradise. The hotel apartment view was amazing, the apartment was amazing. The pools, gym, spa, sauna, bbq area it’s got it all. We couldn’t stay away from the pools…beautiful. And of course Kevin the manager is a top gun, he’s so friendly and helpful amazing bloke. My little one and all my family are very satisfied and we miss the place.

Need a gallery of browser tabs

Brave is an amazing browser for iOS! It comes in with the best ad blocker and most private search 👍 I would like to let the developers know that whenever I open my browser tabs, I would constantly have to stretch my thumbs to close the tab. If there was a gallery of tabs that I could swipe up and tabs would show and the close button was on the bottom or on the tool bar, that would make life for my thumb easier. Apple has integrated this feature for iPhones itself like when we open our windows and all I have to do to close one is to swipe my thumb upwards on the bottom of the screen where it can reach easily. This is what Brave should have for their browser tabs for ergonomic purposes. Another feature that I need is a larger search bar. Coming from Safari, I’m used to tapping on the large Safari search bar. It’s a little challenging for my fingers to find the slim search bar and press it. Haptic feedback would also significantly improve the browser. Thank you and keep at it! 👏

Works well as far as I know

I have three free version. Don’t keep all my stuff on it so not much stuff. Don’t need more. I like that it puts spam in the spam folder without a number beside it so that I have to look at it anyway. Not nearly as complicated as Gmail (and hopefully not invasive like it is). I used to have Yahoo mail and was shocked one time when, after writing an email to my brother, I got a comment on it from some anonymous person who had read it at Yahoo. What???

Don’t really like that I have to pay to designate things for the spam folder. Only allowed one free designation. Also, why is the login screen sooo extremely bright??? Even when I turn it down all the way to where one more notch would be off it’s still too bright, especially if you’re I’m in a dark room. And it’s weird in that if I choose a dark mode (which I want) the login screen is bright. But if I choose the light mode I get a dark login screen. In my mind the dark (at both locations) should be the default. People staring at bright screens all day and night can’t be good for you.

Anyway, thank you for this email service.

Best browser for me

So I’ve recently switched all my devices from Chrome to Brave. The benefits of plug-in free add blocker, video calls, crypto wallet (I could go on) far outweigh any other browser out there for me. Transferring all my data, bookmarks and history was easy and also my Ram seems to take less of a hit that chrome does also. I’ve got my whole family to switch to brave because of the benefits you provide. I might be brave as to say your the best browser available at the moment (pun intended) ;)

Good app, but needs work

Summary: the goal this app is trying to achieve is S+ but the execution is an F+ Meaning that this app is better than every other web browser and at the same time worse, it’s got everything good you want in a web browser while being horrendously unreliable and fussy, I recommend… if you’re willing to have a second web browser as well. edit2: i found the reason why it deleted all my tabs, it had crashed like three times in a row and it wasn’t prepared to handle that, I know this as it happened again while I was looking at it. Edit: it just deleted all my tabs :( . I like what they’re going for, but it needs some work, like the lack of integration with the Shortcuts app and night mode needs some help, I don’t like that the two buttons in the bottom right are swapped but chrome’s doing it too so I guess I can’t judge too much… anyway most of what I want is just a little bit more polish on this… and maybe just ditch the cryptocurrency entirely, oh yeah and Web app games are kind of cooked on this too… only ad blocker that I actually feel comfortable using tho… Safari is just too smooth and well integrated with the shortcuts app to stop using completely… Anyway, would recommend over chrome

Update: Great, removed crypto ads in news feed

Update: I am dumbfounded how quickly the crypto ads nearly disappeared after posting this review. If it was in response to my comments, I am humbled and truly thankful to the developers for listening to the community! Now 100% recommended, just give it a shot!

Absolutely love Brave, I use it in Linux, Mac OS, iPad OS, iOS, and was using it in windows before I got rid of windows. The cross platform functionality is flawless, I can send tabs across devices and sync settings, onboarding new devices is simple and even syncs extensions. My only gripe is all of the crypto ads in Brave news. I actually really like Brave news, you have fine control over sources and is very broad. I fine the crypto industry/culture to be morally bankrupt (basically gambling and a waste of resources) and even though I see its usefulness in very niche situations, that is not what is driving the ads. For what Brave stands for, I contemplate moving away because of their push on crypto features and ads, really conflicted on this.

Changes the internet for the better

I forget how much noise Brave removes until I see the same website on another browser. The internet is a nicer place to be without the cognitive noise of advertising.

Brave is Besterest.

Get Brave, it’s the best. That’s about the size of it. If you want to push back against the unceasing intrusions in to your life but, want to remain online, get Brave. You know how you can tell Brave is best for this, it’s because the exact sort of international ahh-swipes that don’t like the obstacles Brave puts in their way, do their level best to get companies in the public sector to program elements of their online footprint to not operate if Brave is the browser being used. This makes me want to stay with Brave even more and should do the same for you. Get Brave and annoy the people that need to be annoyed.
