Ratings and reviews

Probably the best browser for ease of use, no ads experience. Literally anyone with an Internet connection can go from being subjected to massive walls of auto-playing videos with a tiny x in the corner, and ads that appear as a background for the webpage that must be fully viewed while scrolling past - to nothing. Your favorite news websites, forums, and recipe instructions just got a whole lot easier to read.

It's pretty good. Good tab management, good interface and good features overall. One glaring flaw is that sometimes it glitches and doesn't open to the same tab you left off on. I've seen browsers that let you search tabs by name and that would be incredibly helpful or something that lets you find tabs you've looked at most recently but not closed. It gets very annoying trying to find my tabs again and it happens often enough to be an issue.

Stays in dark mode even when the device mode changes. I have to go in and change to light mode manually. Brave search ignores boolean operators. Search results are junk when words can't be excluded. It's as useless as Google but less popular. Lastly, the AI changes the spelling of words and goes off on tangents about irrelevant stuff. I can't use the "-" operator to tell it to stop misspelling my search terms.
