@silversurfer interesting, just 53 min after you posted about update 1.76.74, I had updated Fedora Linux about 30 min before that, and that Linux update included Brave! For me, the MT "Like" icons disappear in Brave, I can click "like" but I cannot select any of the options... (not seen this issue with firefox, but different issue with firefox today)

In the past, I've also found if the screen resolution changes? (notebook), I have to grab the side bar and scroll up (or the touch screen), and they're hovering a post or two above. I'm not sure if it was just with Brave or not, don't remember.

Excuse me, is Brave better than Google? I have been using Google for number of years and most friends recommend me to use Brave.
Can any member state their benefits if feasible?
Thanks in advance for the kind assistance rendered!

It's obviously one of many Chromium forks (not sure whether Chromium belongs to the similar named browser you mentioned).
I use it as backup to Edge, I'm quite happy with the Chromium Edge (never used the old one).
Brave seems to get updates a tad faster than the M$ variant, and seems to autoupdate, whether Edge seems to wait for user input sometimes.

Brave advertises with strong privacy features and a built in Adblocker, which is quite strong IMO; however I bundle both Edge and Brave w/ AdGuard, blocking YT ads and others flawlessly.

What I dislike about Brave is the Rewards and Crypto thingies it used to enable by default, and shows prominently.
Not sure about the built in VPN; if autoenabled, I did disable, I used F-Secure FreeDome till lately.

Some day Brave broke and couldn't autoupdate, this was the day I switched to Edge, and I sticked to it, mainly also because of the SmartScreen feature (also use Bitdefender TrafficLight for website filtering).
So maybe you can get further input by others.

In terms of speed, ease of use, I cannot tell a difference.

As per Google Chrome, I haven't used it in decades, it was replaced by Brave in early days, when it was clearly more comfortable.

I just got an error trying to update brave to this version -- I think it said server error but then on 2d attempt a few min later it installed ok.
