Did they fix their sync issue yet? I couldn't get my laptop and desktop to work together so I switched over to Firefox.
Happy to help investigate Sync issues. Able to share more details?
I've used Brave since March, and I'm really not impressed. For a browser that tries to be different, it's incredible how little consideration has been given to things that annoy users and that could probably be trivial to remove. To be more specific, my issues with Brave are: - Still uses the Chrome Web Store as main store - Does not have an easy way to load packaged extensions from 3rd party sources - Even after add…
It's perfect for my use case: Chrome but with all the google bits removed and built-in ad-blocking. Can't say any of those things you listed have bothered me. I don't use BAT. Edit: Why do so many new accounts (green text) post to any thread about Brave?

You disable competitors ads to show your own. Something is wrong with it.
10 (5?) years ago, that used to be called malware.
I've been using Brave rewards, both as a user and a content maker. It's really great, and I feel this may be a reasonable alternative to the invasive trackers+ads we have today. For the uninitiated, Brave lets users opt-in to Brave rewards: - You set your browser to reward content creators with Basic Attention Token (BAT). You set a budget (e.g. 10 BAT/month), and Brave distributes it the sites you use most, e.g. if…

What do you mean by "general agenda"?
Google basically decides what to implement, what not to implement, what to deprecate. For example the current controversial change: Google says "slow web is bad" and deprecates an API that allowed extensions to do almost unlimited work for any web page. Oops. Adblockers depended on that and did want to do almost unlimited work for any web page, and that wasn't a bug, but the API gets dropped, AIUI because Google want…

You need some sort of cryptocurrency for this as microtransactions don't really work in the legacy system. Also by using their own token they can boot strap the ecosystem cheaply as they can mint the tokens themselves with the value accruing later after network participants are onboarded and transacting.
microtransactions don't work on cryptocurrency...
edit2: Nevermind all this, Brave did in fact implement protected content this earlier this year https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/413 I still can't use brave to watch netflix on Linux. Its a great product and I love shifting the incentive of advertising away from intrusive data harvesting, but treating Linux like its a second class citizen means I won't use your product. Whats worse is that Firefox is 100…
Are you referring to Widevine? Brave asks you if you want to install it rather than just assuming you want DRM out of the box.

The notification if very discreet, but it did have a button in the toolbar to promp me to install it.
