The browser is highly performant, contains (nearly) all necessary (usability and privacy) features and is suitable for beginners.
The search has a nice interface that is usable without javascript, has an onion site and should be low on telemetry. It also (in my opinion) has the best search results after Google. And these search results are Brave’s own results, not just resold Bing results; so they’re actually bringing real competition to the search engine market.
I know people advertise a lot of good things for Brave. But I’ve never seen them. It’s installed in my system, it’s what I spin up to enter shady websites (don’t ask), because it works well with ad based hidden link providers. But it’s not that performant, vanilla Brave is way slower than riced up Firefox on my system. It shows sponsored ads, it straight tells you that it might collect data, it’s bloated with buttons and crypto bullshit. I just don’t see what any of the shills are talking about, and it sells your activity on the browser to AI trainers because their search engine is just that, a meta search engine crawler, sorry but it’s just like any other browser.
Didn’t they do some shady stuff before too? I was pretty confused why some people still recommended it
They got their start redirecting ads to sponsored ads. I’ve never understood the love for that browser.
