Just the fastest and most ergonomic browser I've tried. I wish Firefox was like Brave, to be honest. Until that happens, I'll stick to Brave for both mobile and desktop.

#43I actually find their Goggles [0] feature really interesting.

#44Just started testing Brave Search, and it scored a rare 100 on the first test: If you type in the name of a favorite boutique hotel, will you get that hotel's true website -- or the usual hairball of third-party intermediaries? (For anyone who's ever tried to modify a reservation, the difference is astonishing. If you're booked with the hotel, all kinds of adjustments are at least possible. If you're booked with Book…
And you can customize it using goggles.

#45as a brave user on my personal devices its nice to see that theyre continually working towards independence. brave browser with brave search has worked fine for me, i barely notice the difference having switched from chrome/google.

Fails my personal benchmark, unfortunately: haskell megaparsec operators -> should return [0] somewhere high in the result set. Found it on the third page of Brave Search. For comparison, it's the very first result on Google, second page for Bing, and the third page for DuckDuckGo. Sure, it's a bit obscure, and I don't even write that much Haskell these days. But it's calibrated to determine whether I can rely on the…
That's the first result on Kagi, but I think that's because they just call Google behind the scenes for you.
Edit: I didn't mean this to be an insult, I pay for Kagi and use it exclusively. But actually, the Kagi and Google first page of results look fairly different for this query, so Kagi is doing more curation and ordering than I realized.

I don't know that I would rely on performance on a single search to categorize how a search engine performs even in related areas to that one search. Also, maybe this is a stupid question, but are you letting Google personalize your results? If so, the comparison becomes even more problematic.

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is ergonomic until you want to send more than one tab using Brave sync. Also Ctrl + B to show the bookmarks sidebar would be nice, for those of us who nest their web clippings deeply. On the iOS app, it also forgets usernames I’ve stored using password sync. For some sites (criteria unclear) I have to type the username before it inserts the password, which is frustrating to a privacy conscious user who will not us…
In Brave, you can select the Bookmarks panel from the side bar, and then toggle it open/closed from then on with Ctrl+B. Regarding iOS, it's entirely possible there's a bug in our code. I'll definitely take a closer look and speak with the team regarding this report. That said, it's also not entirely uncommon for users to enter a site through a slightly different URL, or form, which complicates the credential-autofil…
Ah, tried Ctrl+B with the mini side bar already open and found it works. Thanks.
The two recent culprits that didn't toggle password autofill were eBay.co.uk and Gumtree.co.uk. I'd be grateful it if this could be investigated; the latter prevented me from checking an address in the Gumtree PMs whilst on the road delivering a purchase.
On the issue of sending multiple tabs, it is frustrating enough that it prevents me from adopting Brave as my main browser. I often open a few sites that interest me on mobile then decide to read more on my desktop. If you could pass the word along for someone to investigate that, all the better.
With that said, it's commendable being the only browser on iOS with first class advert blocking & sync with every other platform.

#49Sadly it failed my test. When I search for "Python str split" it includes trash results and midway down the first page of results is the python API documentation after some YouTube videos, W3Schools and "GeeksForGeeks" spam garbage. DuckDuckGo at least has the results correct for this case and an infocard on the side that understands it's a Python related API question with relevant examples and links.
