Brave was initially an interesting browser, but without any options to disable the credits/money add-ons the browser have no future.
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…
Have you had the same experience with their mobile browser? I found the desktop experience lackluster but the only browser that's run faster on my phone is Firefox Focus.
Getting a 504 error on https://brave.com/download/
Did they fix their sync issue yet? I couldn't get my laptop and desktop to work together so I switched over to Firefox.
https://brave.com/malvertising-homeland-security/ "Brave warns US Senate & Congress: foreign state actors can use targeted ads to run code on US government computers, exploiting conventional browsers" Oh, my. I am so scared. And Brave is of course a knight in shining armor ready to protect our shaken foundations.
It actually does happen, and I've used ad blocking software consistently ever since.
>Use Google Chrome store so Google still gets every info it ever wanted and even more than before because your fingerprinting is more unique than with Chrome i.e. you give away your entire browsing history for free to Google
Whoever uses Brave shouldn't be surprised why advertisers and trackers now have an even easier time following you

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?
well, except for the fact that it's still a chromium browser and google really sets the general agenda for all chromium browsers.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> You set a budget (e.g. 10 BAT/month) What if a user doesn't earn 10 BAT a month browsing? It seems like that system would break down over time.
You aren't really meant to have a "system" of earning and spending BAT that balances each month. The budget of BAT you set each month comes from your wallet, and is essentially your personal donation to the various websites you use, it's not related to ads. This wallet can run out in the same way any wallet can run out, and you'd have to refill it. The BAT you can earn from seeing ads is separate and unrelated to tha…
It sounds like you're saying that people can purchase BAT for their wallets? I was thinking along the lines of the only method of acquisition being basically "view the brave ads".
Can users purchase BAT outright for their wallets?
