Does anyone noticed some performance degradation after updating to version 1.37.xx?

The only way to return to "normal" was disabling Brave's adblocker and using a extension to do the job.

I guess I was right, it was terrible, but seems that this new version fixed all the quirks.

Nice man they are fast!

If they would only fix the white splash screen when going to a new tab or when maximizing the browser I would likely use this as my default browser.

It doesn't have to do with crypto.

Brave 1.38 launches with improved Shields panel and De-AMP privacy feature - gHacks Tech News

A look at the changes in Brave 1.38, including the browser's De-AMP feature and the redesigned Shields panel.

www.ghacks.net

Brave Software added design components to Shields and switched to using the mojom API.

From a user perspective, one of the main changes appears to be that the full Shields menu is not displayed anymore by default. Users need to activate the "advanced controls" button to display customization options. A link to the Filter lists has been added to the full Shields panel.

There does not seem to be an option to load the full panel on activation of the Shields icon.

 

[Stas]

To restore old Shields panel.

chrome://flags/#brave-shields-v2 = disable

Brave joins Mozilla in declaring Google's First-Party Sets feature harmful to privacy​

Brave Software, maker of the Brave browser, joined Mozilla recently in declaring first-party sets an anti-privacy feature. Brave Senior director of privacy, Peter Snyder, pointed out on the official blog that the adoption of the feature would make it harder for "user-respecting browsers to protect their users' privacy".

First-Party Sets will allow more sites to track more of your behavior on the Web, and make it more difficult for users to predict how their information will be shared.

Snyder believes that Chrome's dominance will likely lead to the implementation of the feature in other browsers to "maintain compatibility with the Web". Chrome has a market share of over 60% and many browsers are using the same source as Chrome already. The two main exceptions are Apple's Safari and Mozilla's Firefox web browser. Other browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Brave, Vivaldi or Opera, use Chromium as the source.

First-party sets enable the tracking of users across properties that organizations and individuals own. Google could declare most of its properties a first-party set; this would mean that if a user is known on google.com, it is also known on any other site of the first-party set, even if that site was never visited or is visited for the first time.

Google would know about the user who visits YouTube, Blogger, or Alphabet.com for the first time, provided that these domains would be in the same first-party set. Worse still, according to Snyder, users would have no control over the mechanism.

Google is arguing that first-party sets is improving privacy, as it paves the way for removing support for third-party cookies in the browser. Snyder argues that first-party sets is not a privacy feature, but one designed to "ensure companies can continue to identify and track people across sites".

Brave considers Google's first-party sets proposal harmful to the privacy of Internet users, as it enables companies to track users across their properties.

Configure Brave Browser to display all articles in Reader Mode​

Brave Browser includes an option to toggle Reader Mode automatically for all articles that you encounter. The article listings on Ghacks, for instance, are not displayed in the reading mode, but when an article is opened, it is displayed automatically.

Brave notes that it uses a technique that is modifying the page before it is downloaded, and that this saves bandwidth and loading time. The automated nature of the mode in Brave gives it that advantage over the feature in other browsers, as it is required to activate the mode manually in most browsers.

Reader Mode Configuration​

Reader Mode automation settings are provided in the browser's preferences:

1. Load brave://settings/appearance in the browser's address bar to open the Appearance Settings.
2. Scroll down until you find the Speedreader preference on the page.
3. Toggle it to enable or disable it.

When you enable it, Brave will load all articles in Reader Mode automatically. You may then use the address bar icon to turn it off for specific sites.

Reader Mode implementations may display unnecessary content when invoked in the browser, and none support options to modify the behavior on certain sites. They improve accessibility significantly in some cases though.
