Ratings and reviews

edit: I previously gave it 5 stars but now it's not stopping pop up ads. Sure it doesn't show me the content but it doesn't change the fact that I'm getting launched to other pages and have to exit them multiple times. And I'm on the same website that I never had this issue with previously. Seriously disappointing. 1st post: don't have anything insightful to add its just amazing and I hope it stays that way. It performs its role well and I can't imagine my life before this app 😭😭

I really like the app. However It appears that recently an update was done that is rather annoying. I have a few sites open in the browser with the research I have been doing. The next day when I go into Brave, rather than going back to the last open site, it opens a new blank page. Then I have to delete that unnecessary page. And find the page I had been on.

I've used Brave for a couple years now and originally really liked it. But recently, it has really begun to give me issues. Search options have become narrower and less relevant. Like I can't even find what I'm looking for because the options that Brave brings up are not even close to my search topic. Very frustrating. It has become really buggy. Websites are not running like they should and consistently freeze up while I'm trying to browse. I can see from reviews that I'm not the only one. 👎
