Here are two problems I have noticed with brave-browser : The layout is great on widescreen monitors but breaks on my 15'' laptop. Sites like YouTube render as a garish mess of incongruously placed whitespace. This is a major issue. Also, the brave icons for receiving 'rewards', when activated, are too large obstrusive when displayed on websites. I had to turn them off in settings.

On the good side, I like that I don't have to ever watch pesky ads on YouTube.

Overall however, brave-browser is great and offers a welcome change from traditional browsers.

Brendan Eich named his browser 'brave' because he thinks that he is "brave" for attacking a minority group.

When I was young, in a trashy town, big groups of guys would get together and go 'fag-bashing', which is when a bunch of grown adults beat someone up because they suspect he's gay. Often, the target is a little kid. Since a lot of cops were former fag-bashers, there wasn't much to do about it. Fag bashing stopped for about a year when one 13-year-old had to get multiple surgeries. Even after all the surgeries, his face is deformed to this day, about 25 years later.

The fag bashers were still much more brave than Brendan Eich, because they had the courage to look their victims in the face. Anyone who uses Brave should seriously reconsider what kind of person they've become, and what kind of person they want to be.

Can you login to the StackDriver metrics console with Brave yet? I had to disable everything, literally all protections, to get this to non-endless redirect, its difficult to whitelist as there is dozens of domains from (gcloud to accounts.google.com, to some sd/stackdrivers one) at this point it I gave up

My personal site which has never had ads made a couple bucks last year of BAT. Pretty easy to get set up. Can't complain.

I'm sorry- I'm extremely confused about what this has to do with this web browser.

I used Brave for a while on Android and found it to work well. However, in the last month or so something changed and it started freezing constantly.

I've since switched to Firefox, which is much better on Android than when I last tried it.
