Ratings and reviews

This browser is brutally good. Excellent at its best. It's fast, user-friendly, and prioritizes my privacy with built-in ad blocking and tracking protection. I appreciate the clean interface and smooth browsing experience. I also love the automatic background changing, and the block elements feature. I will only delete this review when I found a browser better than brave. If you see this review, I'm still using Brave.

A recent update removed not only the hidden ability to view source (add view-source: in front of the URL), a minor annoyance, but took away the ability to edit what's in the address bar, which is extremely frustrating. Maybe the Chromium source did this, but even if it did, the Brave people need to add it back. Come on guys, nobody asked for this, and if they did, it could (should) be toggleable in settings.

EDIT: Can't connect to Gemini on mobile. Is now a performance hog. Great built-in security features that don't break site functionality as much as other browsers IMO. Sync features have been improving along with a lot of other features. I run Dev version on desktop to report bugs/fixes, and devs are receptive and fast to respond. All that, and you get paid to use the browser!
