Ratings and reviews

The built in ad-blocking is excellent on both Windows and Android. My sole caveat is that one website is broken whether shields are up or down in the Windows version(overclockers.co.uk), but I haven't done a fresh install of Windows or tried it on another system to confirm whether it's specific to me. The site also loads without issue on the App which is pertinent here.

Update on 07/12/2023- This browser has significantly improved . Now can copy and paste from a different browsers into brave browser. However, I do not like how (Brave) automatically change to standard settings, when you set browser for ( blocking aggressive fingerprinting and tracking), as your preferred settings . This is really annoying you having too consciously keep changing the settings back, to way want it to be. Brave developers need to fix this problems, quickly.

Just had to uninstall and reinstall brave because it stopped displaying sites like YouTube correctly. It's done it again, after a few days the text disappears from all webpages but the control buttons are still there. I tried cleaning history and cache but only another reinstall worked, let's see how long for. Cheers I'll give it a try because it sometimes took a couple of days to go wrong 👍
