Brave - one name for power features

I use it successfully for what I need to manage business accounts well. It is more stable than Google Chrome, takes fewer resources than Firefox and Chrome, and pages do not crash. It is the best option for crucial things, not really for surfing around.

PROS

Creators of the Brave browser want to ensure privacy and stability. That's for sure what I would be bold as his strong point. I am using it to manage websites and sensitive things. I never had an issue.

CONS

Sometimes it happens, although rarely, that I cannot access some web pages or they are not displayed well. I don't know where to address that problem, but I am satisfied with all the other good things.

Reason for choosing Brave

I like it the most.

Reasons for switching to Brave

It's easy to use, fast, secure, and ideal for business needs.

Best web browsing experience with speed and effectivity

Overall Brave is equipped with many great features such as Brave shields, Brave rewards, torrent downloading while using lesser RAM usage than some other browsers makes the brave the best browser available. Also with Brave users can experience more secure internet usage by using shields and tor private browsing feature. So, brave is recommended for any user due to great features and Brave can be customized to users preference. And for many who are using separate work and home accounts, brave comes with multiple account to use exactly for that.

PROS

Brave browser consists of many novel, innovative features such as Brave shields and Brave rewards making web browsing a comfortable experience. I really appreciate the brave shield function which removes almost all the unnecessary advertisements making web browsing easier for the users. And introducing brave rewards for users to earn some money while browsing the internet is another feature I like in brave browser. And compared with competition brave is much faster and does not overload RAM unlike many other browsers. Being able to customize almost anything and having multiple user profiles with separate accounts and ability to download torrent files are the best features introduced in Brave browser. Also increased security and privacy by blocking trackers and ads while saving both time and bandwidth is another pro feature is the Brave.

CONS

Although almost everything can be customized inability to create a desktop shortcut for main profile and being slightly slower than some browsers was noticed. And torrent downloading speed was lower compared with independent torrent applications.

Reasons for switching to Brave

Brave was faster and more user friendly while Google chrome was using most of my RAM while browsing internet.

One of the safest search engines at the moment

PROS

The two main things that sparked my interest in Brave and made it the only browser I use are the Ads and Cookies blockers. You don't need to install or use another app, you don't have to go through multiple or complicated steps to activate the blockers. It is a simple procedure that 100% works.

CONS

There are no downsides to using Brave, but if there is a thing I would improve, it would be the possibility of having more freedom to customize the browser. For now, there are only a limited number of extensions available.

If privacy is your priority, Brave is the way to go.

Brave is a great option for those who give importance to their browsing privacy. With brave you no longer see ads based on your search history and you don't have have to install any extensions to do this. On Brave browser, I believe the user has ultimate control over the privacy which majority of internet browsers lack these days.

PROS

Brave is an open source browser which is fast and efficient. Its emphasis on privacy is something that sets it apart from other browsers. I hate it when google chrome shows ads based on my browsing history and with brave browser I am never worried about this. The user interface is easy to navigate and the menu options are neatly laid out. It was much easier to import my bookmarks, passwords and browsing history from Firefox to Brave. With Brave, I no longer see Ads on websites that I regularly visit. Most importantly Brave does not store user data. The incognito tab on Brave allows me to browse internet anonymously since this mode blocks the trackers efficiently. I use this mode often to check flight ticket prices.

CONS

Having used it for over an year now I am yet to come across a Con.

Reasons for switching to Brave

The Firefox is a great browser however, it consumes a lot of memory (RAM) and is not as fast and stable as Brave. The added privacy features of the Brave prompted me to switch.
