Initial Opinions? "Brave is a scam browser that injects ads everywhere secretly and its crypto is a scam" and this was not just me, it's almost everyone's (at least those who have read those spicy news articles mentioning Brave as a crypto scam) opinion on Brave.Ĭome to think of it, it really wasn't my own opinion, but the opinion I formed from others' viewpoints and experiences, which was totally the wrong approach. I also looked into Brave forks without the crypto stuff and I found about Braver, which Brave took down with DMCA so it started looking even shadier. I didn't look into them myself so the headlines were enough for me to start hating on Brave. Look at the top navbar, this is how I expected it to look but it didn't and I was disappointed.Īlso I browse a lot of tech subreddits and Brave's crypto programs all looked shady. It was annoying that I couldn't change the colors either, which is as simple as just changing the CSS but Brave doesn't provide support for that. What I really didn't like, was the UGLY GRADIENT EVERYWHERE! (It's stupid, I know) I opened the settings for the first time and there it was, the ugly pink-purple gradient, I hated it, absolutely hated it. It supported importing data too so that was great. Okay, so first impressions, Brave looked and worked exactly like Chrome and Chromium which was a huge plus point. Okay, before you come up with your pitchforks, I just wanna say that I hated Brave initially (in the first week of using it) but I came around it and now love it! Which means I won't be able to sync data between my phone and other PCs, another deal breaker.Īnd that's when I decided to use Brave, and at first I absolutely hated switching to it. So, After several months of switching between Chromium and Firefox, I decided to move back to Chromium BUT WAIT! Chromium announced they'll no longer be supporting Google Sync. I still have kept Firefox, I use it for certain things, it's a nice desktop browser. The only great thing about it was the Sync, Firefox handles Sync amazingly well. The fact that it didn't have an option to search the history was even more annoying. This was a deal breaker, If I had to keep Chromium with firefox to browse important websites, what was the point in using Firefox at all? Not to mention the horrible Android app, it's just, bad. Many websites simply refused to work, for frontend development it doesn't have a lot of features (doesn't support several webkit functions) and sites like Mega NZ refused to download big files since the browser doesn't support certain APIs. I didn't know any better so around 2018-19 I switched to Chromium instead, at least it was FOSS but later I realized Chromium also had a lot of proprietary Google code, which made me look for alternatives so I switched to Firefox, after a long time.įirefox, while great, had plethora of issues. Most people already know this, it's always in the back of their mind but they never take any action. There's nothing redeeming about it other than performance, it seems to be a resource hog which might explain (or not) why it's the #1 in browser benchmarks everywhere.Ĭhrome has always had privacy issues, it's one of the least private browsers out there and this bothered me. I was a Chrome user first (go ahead, report me) and to be fair, Chrome is a nice stable browser but that's as far as it goes. I've been using this browser exclusively and during this time, I never bothered installing Chrome or Chromium which were my primary browsers before Chromium decided to kill sync functionality and Chrome just totally nuked my privacy. This week, I completed one year with the Brave Browser (and the Brave ecosystem: Brave Search, Brave Talk, BATs in general).
