Ratings and reviews

I love the browser overall, but there's one super annoying problem that I constantly run into. Whenever I try to select text, it has a start and end pin, right? You slide each one around until they land at the right places. In Brave, you move one and then the other one jumps around to some other place! It's really hard to get both of them to land in the right spots when they keep jumping around for no reason... 😵‍💫

The fix seems to work. Used it for a week.... It was bizarre... Glad the report helped! Recently the browser will get into a state where it does not render text at all. When this happens, sometimes force stopping it fixes it, sometime clearing cache fixes it, sometimes deleting non important data does it... But eventually I have to clear all user data and start over. I get some warnings of this... Graphics will not render correctly first and there is a rapid jarring scroll occasionally.

Used Bromite for years, but they stopped updating it, so I switched to Brave. Brave does what I need it to do. Ad blocker is solid. Privacy features seem to work well. It's fast enough. Brave search engine even seems nice, although you have options. I turned off the crypto nonsense, I don't want to watch ads, even if I'm paid for it. My only (minor) complaint is the color scheme. I hate red. Wish there was a blue or black/grey theme option. Other than that, a solid choice for a daily driver.
