Pros and Cons
"It's extremely user friendly as the UI is well done. Your privacy is also guaranteed, and I like a lot the fact that one can see the amount of trackers that have been blocked."
"Same extension library like chrome. Features of crypto community."
"The highlight of the browser is its reward system with BAT coins, this is just fantastic. Be paid for using a fast, secure, efficient and sensational browser."
"Bad point of this tool is the fact that you have to insert the Translator extension to interact with pages in other languages."
"Sometimes video can not be played on less known sites."
"Although almost everything can be customized inability to create a desktop shortcut for main profile and being slightly slower than some browsers was noticed."

If privacy is your priority, Brave is the way to go.
Brave is a great option for those who give importance to their browsing privacy. With brave you no longer see ads based on your search history and you don't have have to install any extensions to do this. On Brave browser, I believe the user has ultimate control over the privacy which majority of internet browsers lack these days.
PROS
Brave is an open source browser which is fast and efficient. Its emphasis on privacy is something that sets it apart from other browsers. I hate it when google chrome shows ads based on my browsing history and with brave browser I am never worried about this. The user interface is easy to navigate and the menu options are neatly laid out. It was much easier to import my bookmarks, passwords and browsing history from Firefox to Brave. With Brave, I no longer see Ads on websites that I regularly visit. Most importantly Brave does not store user data. The incognito tab on Brave allows me to browse internet anonymously since this mode blocks the trackers efficiently. I use this mode often to check flight ticket prices.
CONS
Having used it for over an year now I am yet to come across a Con.
Reasons for switching to Brave
The Firefox is a great browser however, it consumes a lot of memory (RAM) and is not as fast and stable as Brave. The added privacy features of the Brave prompted me to switch.

Brave the promising browser
What a professional and very wonderful browser with a high degree of performance. Brave gave me all the necessary tools for safe and smooth browsing, while it contains excellent add-ons that help it achieve the utmost satisfaction for the user, especially in the field of online work. I hope to develop it for the better. Thank you.
PROS
What i like most about Brave that the browser is known for its speed, with a focus on minimizing page load times. The blocking of resource-intensive ads contributes to faster loading of web pages.
CONS
I may encounter compatibility issues with certain websites or services, as not all websites are optimized for the specific privacy and ad blocking features of the Brave browser.

Brave: an awesome browser for the general public
Overall, my experience with Brave is really positive and I recommend it for everyone who just want something that works out of the box
PROS
The main advantage of using Brave is by far the ease of use. You can download the installer (on Windows), launch it and it is installed. Brave's built-in privacy protections automatically blocks against browser fingerprinting and other tracking technologies (and also makes pages load faster!).
CONS
The biggest problem with Brave is the cryptocurrency button on the URL bar and the ads enabled by default on the home screen (which can be easily disabled, but a lot of people won't do that).
Reason for choosing Brave
Firefox is more difficult to use, requiring extensions to allow the same privacy on Brave. Vivaldi is a good browser, however their proprietary software nature is enough to not use it for privacy reasons
Reasons for switching to Brave
Google Chrome's bad privacy decisions and its relation to Google is a obvious red flag in the modern web.

A program that prize its clients
I was intrigued uniquely in digital currency, and I find an incredible program Explanations behind Switching to Brave protection concerns Google Chrome's terrible protection choices and its connection to Google is an undeniable warning in the cutting-edge web.
PROS
I love the inserted this program and the downpour customer, that is a major BRAVO I like the BAT reward I got from the program. This program works incredibly. I like that I can import settings, bookmarks. It saves power on your telephone. There are no regular upsetting promotions. It's exceptionally simple to utilize.
CONS
It's an awesome application yet at the same time is imperfect. It arbitrarily crashes. The adblocker included, quickest as I saw, and acquiring cryptographic money are awesome. what I didn't like is that occasionally a few promotions go out anyway.... however, I imagine that its an issue of time Purposes behind Switching to Brave I was intrigued distinctly by cryptographic money, and I find an incredible program tab and bookmarks the executives. still host to utilize third-get-together applications to oversee tabs and bookmarks appropriately.
Reason for choosing Brave
Administrations and items by web goliaths continually rule the web. While they attempt to give their best, it is continually invigorating to have various options. The upside of having contenders like Brave ensures that huge tech doesn't direct clients' decision Assuming you are perusing the web, your movement is being followed in for sure. However, not every person needs to offer their data on the web. Fearless practices a superior security strategy by not gathering clients' perusing exercises. Chrome is ordinarily known to gobble up framework assets, particularly if you have numerous things happening in your internet browser. Valiant shockingly offers a quicker experience with an emphasis on being more asset effective Chrome is a restrictive venture initially founded on Chromium (which is open source). Be that as it may, Brave is an open-source internet browser. Along these lines, anybody can investigate the source code to check the cases and evaluate the security of the program if necessary.

A better internet experience that doesn't get in the way
Using Brave makes the interntet experience a lot better by blocking tracking and ads as a default. By putting the needs af the user and privacy in the center, it just makes for an overall better experience of browsing.
PROS
I love that Brave comes equiped with very good ad and tracking blocking as default, which contrasts with having to install countless diferent add-ons on competitor browsers. I also doesn't ask the user to log in the browser or create an account, instead opting for a more elegant way of syncing all devices. In terms of design, Brave is very modern and non-intrusive, which is all anyone needs from a browser. I also love the fact that Brave is natively crypto-friendly, offering ENS domain resolution and a good browser wallet.
CONS
I don't have any critical complaints about Brave. The only, very minor thing I could mention is maybe not allowing a lot of costumization in the new tab page.
Reasons for switching to Brave
Browser offers better native ad and tracking features, doesn't require me to create and be logged in an account. It also works better with crypto browser extensions than Firefox.

Fast brower, privacy and earning crypto
When I downloaded The Brave browser I just tried it. After a couple of days of testing, I made it my default browser, and still, it is my number one browser.
PROS
When to start from? Brave browser is a super-fast, minimalistic browser. I like it because it is really fast. There is a perfect option for privacy, which could be customized for your needs. Last but not least - you can make money browsing. As a former Chrome user - I imported all my bookmarks and passwords.
CONS
I noticed when I am using the brave browser my CPU is busier. That is not big deal if you have a good laptop, but could be an issue for an older PC.
Reason for choosing Brave
I still using different browsers - Google Chrome, Mozzila, Opera, and Brave for different purposes. But my default browser is Brawe. Why - because of the privacy and earning crypto.
Reasons for switching to Brave
The main reason for switching from Google Chrome to The Brave was the ability to earn crypto BAT. But over time I found much more useful options and features in Brave compare to Google Chrome. When I was using Google Chrome there are a lot of crashes over time. There are no such crashes using Brave.

Probably the best web browser: Brave
A few days ago I decided to download and install Brave. I had heard about this browser on the Internet, but I decided to install it because a friend of mine recommended it to me. I sincerely don't regret having changed of web browser, I will also keep testing.
PROS
I have used for a few days Brave and I must say that I think it's the best browser I have used. I love too many things about him. First, Brave blocks all ads from all Internet sites, and you decide if you activate them or disable them for some particular page (In addition to the time that has saved me). Another thing that I loved is the freedom that Brave gives you to use the search engine of your preference. All Chrome extensions work perfectly, which didn't happen in my previous browser. Brave isn't as demanding as other web browsers and I love that. It is also an option in which Brave pays you in BAT's if you decide to activate Brave's own advertising (non-invasive), and this money can be used to donate content creators.
CONS
Sincerely in this time that I have used Brave I have been delighted. I have no words to describe how much it has helped me and all the time Brave has saved me by eliminating ads. I'm going to omit this part of the review because I can't find any negative point about Brave.
Reasons for switching to Brave
Brave has many more things to offer for little hardware requirement.

Excellent Privacy Focused Browser
Overall, I found the switch to Brave Browser to be completely painless, given the underlying code of both being Chromium and Brave supporting basically all the extensions of Chrome browser. The further privacy improvements and features provided by Brave make the browser a standout in the segment.
PROS
I liked the privacy focused nature of the Brave Browser, as well as how closely it resembles Chrome, making the transition simple and easy. I also find that Brave utilizes less RAM than Chrome, making it a lighter and sleeker browser option. Furthermore, features like Brave Rewards and Private Browsing with Tor add additional value.
CONS
The syncing situation on Brave Mobile is not the best, especially since multiuser support is not yet enabled on mobile. Otherwise, Brave has a slight feature gap when compared to Chrome.
Reasons for switching to Brave
I found Brave's privacy features to be an improvement of Chrome and extras like Brave Rewards pushed me to switch.

PROS

CONS
I think it could invest a little more on the user interface to make it look more refined, like Safari, and a settings menu a little more user friendly, for instance. But this is nitpicking because it's great overall.

The browser that puts your privacy as a priority
PROS
It is known that websites attempt to build a profile of you as a visitor to identify you. This is called browser fingerprinting and sites collect as much info as they can so that they can know who you are in a broad sense. Although fingerprints can be used in legitimate ways, they are often used to track activity across web sites and collect info about user's habits. Brave is designed with this in mind introducing noise to create unique fingerprints so websites won't be able to track you. It does this via Brave Shields, which blocks attempts to fingerprint, blocks ads and scripts that might be malicious. I still pair it with uBlock Origin, HTTPS everywhere, privacy badger and NoScript. It includes a simple version of a Tor browser, which might be okay for some light browsing on the dark web. Remember that just using a Tor browser isn't enough to browse securely.
CONS
The thing I like the least about Brave is that they push their cryptocurrency via their browser, which you obtain by letting the browser show you private ads. At least this is an optional feature. Integration with the mobile version of Brave isn't as good as with other browsers, it sometimes won't sync immediately. As when using privacy extensions in the browser, you have to get used to websites malfunctioning. This isn't entirely on Brave as it typically means the site is not built appropriately, but it will mean that you have to bring the Shields down (at your own risk) if you want to continue browsing that site.

Possibly one of the best browsers of the market
I started using Brave because of the crypto rewards. Meanwhile, I found it to be better than every other browser I have used. It has a huge variety of extensions, it blocks ads and most trackers and it's a fast browser overall. I would highly recommend it to everyone.
PROS
Brave is very user-friendly and its rich variety of functions makes it my preferred browser. The incorporated Tor client, ad block and the crypto rewards for using the browser (in the form BAT tokens) are some of the functionalities that makes it stand out. It's also super fast and has always worked perfectly.

Brave browser is a browser that protects your privacy. It blocks unwanted ads, which means cleaner and faster browsing.
