I've been using this browser for a long time after trying many other popular options. It is now my default browser on both mobile and desktop. I'm satisfied with its settings, features, and commitment to privacy. However, I wish the developers would add extension support, which would make the browser even better. Areas that need improvement include more effective pop-up ad blocking and enhanced synchronization settings and features.

Brave is a great browser, especially for YouTube, as it blocks annoying ads effectively. It supports extensions well and offers a smooth reading experience for articles. The interface is clean and user-friendly. However, it has a couple of drawbacks: it doesn’t auto-refresh tabs when reopened, and the download speed is slower than other browsers. Despite these, it’s a solid choice for privacy and ad-free browsing.

Brave is a fantastic browser! It is fast and doesn't slow my OS be it on my phone or computer. The search results are outstanding; queries for information yield relevant results, not a bunch of sites that contain a keyword but whose goal is to sell something. Additionally, I love that I am not being tracked or distracted by ads. Their AI search summary is also exceptional. I have no complaints. Keep up the great work!
