Brave Overview

What is Brave?

Brave Software’s fast, privacy-oriented browser, combined with its blockchain-based digital advertising platform, is reinventing the Web for users, publishers and advertisers. Users get a private, speedier Web experience with much longer battery life, publishers increase their revenue share, and advertisers achieve better conversion. Users can opt into privacy-respecting ads that reward them with a frequent flyer-like token they can redeem or use to tip or contribute to publishers and other content creators. The Brave solution is a win-win for everyone who has a stake in the open Web and who is weary of giving up privacy and revenue to the ad-tech intermediaries. Brave currently has over 50 million monthly active users and 20 million daily active users. Brave Software was co-founded by Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla (Firefox), and Brian Bondy, formerly of Khan Academy and Mozilla.

What do you like best about Brave?

Brave is a great tool for our educational institution because it blocks ads and trackers, enhancing user experience when accessing research databases and online learning platforms. This feature helps maintain a distraction-free environment for both teachers and students. I love Brave and it is a must use one.

The BAT rewards system encourages innovation and offers a way to support content creators directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brave?

It is a lot under-rated browser and it's github community should be improved too. Engaging more developers can lead to faster feature rollouts and better issue management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brave solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unncessary advertisements are a distraction to the students & educators. The ads waste our precious time. The privacy issue is also solved as the trackers blocking is done by Brave.

Our education sector is growing because of it. We can browse the internet safely to get the appropriate content we want.

The reward system is cherry on top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brave?

Brave is an excellent platform if you want control over your browsing security and privacy. It has everything that a browser should have. You can even block ads on websites, and play music or videos on YouTube without advertisements if you wish to. The UX/UI and ease of use are also noteworthy. It also has a blockchain-based reward system, where you can get BAT tokens as rewards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brave?

No big issues as of now but, maybe the browser can work on its extension support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brave solving and how is that benefiting you?

Brave has certain built-in features like a VPN and an Ad-Blocker feature. I don't have to come across ads that I don't want to see. It becomes quite disturbing when pop-ups are coming from everywhere. Brave takes care of it. This is one of the best features of Brave Browser. The reward system is secured as it is based on the blockchain technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brave?

Brave Browser basically takes everything good with Google Chrome and takes it a level up. The built in ad blocker, tracker blocker and various other tools help improve my privacy. For me my favourite part is the home screen that always shows home many trackers have been blocked along time/bandwidth I saved.

There are many browsers with built-in privacy features, that I like. But, the issue is the lack of compatibility with extensions like Grammarly and Ubersuggest. But, since Brave is built on a solid foundation of Google Chrome, it has native support for all pre-existing Google Chrome extensions. Furthermore, the setup, and configuration are easy since it directly connects to your Google account and import a lot from your existing browser.

I personally love the settings page as well, as it provides me far more convenient way of navigating and finding relevant things.

Brave Rewards is ideal for me to earn few bucks monthly for watching Brave's own privacy-friendly ads in an unobstructive way.

My work requires me to frequently access sites that are restricted in my country. The built-in support for private browsing with Tor is ideal for the same, I can easily copy a link in Private Window with Tor for accessing.

One thing that no other browser (apart from Safari) does is multi-device integration. I have my phone and laptop linked, so when I find work related URL, I simply click share and select my device to recieve it on my laptop, saves me the whole time of reading and manually typing the URl.

In addition, on my laptop I can easily generate a QR that allows anyone to scan and open my currently open URL. Its a handy life saver for collaborating with colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brave?

The fact that Brave is built on Chrome is its strength as well as weakness. I have already discussed strenghts.

In terms of weakness, whenever Google Chrome recieves a new update, I don't get the new cool thing on my browser for Months, because I assume Brave has to get the latest Chrome then make their own modifications for many days before its made available to me.

As a web-based business firm, sometimes the lack of timely delivery of such features is a bit painful.

Still, I love it. Have been using Brave for 3 years, will keep using it using for many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brave solving and how is that benefiting you?

My web based business requires a lot of website surfing and data gathering. Oftentimes I get lot of ads on sketchy websites that make it impossible to access content. Othertimes stupid trackers really start surfing unwanted ads on our personal accounts. Brave helps avoid these trackers and removes the ads giving us greater access and privacy at the same time.
