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.

Brave is one of the best browsers available, and you earn crypto paid out monthly!

Very good. 8 out of 10. I still use it daily and would recommend it.

PROS

The privacy features are nice and it's very fast and constantly improving. I use brave every day and have for a couple years now, it's only getting better as time goes on. The earn feature (to earn BAT Token) is honestly super cool and innovative, and it pays right to your uphold or gemini accounts that you can instantly cash out which is really cool. Earning anything simply for using a good product is a win to me.

CONS

The customer support is awful, you have to deal with the world's most confusing forum in order to get ahold of anyone as there isn't a direct line of support which is desperately needed. The forum is the absolute most confusing thing I've ever had to navigate so I know anyone with less technical knowledge would never in a million years be able to get support at all. Plus there are no extensions, no Ai and just slightly starting to lag behind the leading browsers in terms of updates.

Reasons for switching to Brave

The ability to earn crypto. I loved the earn feature but rewards have been cut and they're starting to be little to nothing.

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.

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.
