I'm using Brave over Firefox now as it seems to open web pages faster. As far as privacy goes, is there any browser that is private, I doubt it.
Brave planning to introduce subscription for customizing the browser?

Have doubts; Windows still send data even after disabling all settings and applying all GP tweaks.
Any free product requires data to survive, it's like breast milk for the newborn.
You should definitely try Firefox but with Betterfox. May over perform Brave even. I mean it does on my gaming laptop, and I didn't even use Betterfox.
If you use Enterprise version, then it doesn't send anything. Edge will however constantly send data, if not through its own telemetry, then for sure through SmartScreen.
Right.
That's why I (also) use NextDNS's native tracking protection for Windows.
Another added value of NextDNS.
All such exhaustive measures just to minimize data collection as much as possible; blocking it entirely is remote concept.

I've said my bit in defense of Brave, so I'll let it rest. I'm not a Brave superfan or anything, but I wanted to balance out disapproving lists of criticisms and controversies that are possible for virtually any browser.
How do you all find browsers perform for battery life on Android nowadays? AFAIK, Brave is a strong contender in this department, so I've stuck with it recently. I'm still open to possibilities.

I'm the same way, I know what I like and why, but am also willing to hear the other side of things of what I may be missing, then make my own choice apart from any unintentional "peer pressure" of the forum. Apologies, if I added any words you didn't imply
They say it's "private"; should I believe?
I was almost expecting the website or file to be flagged by Avast or F-SecureThey say it's "private"; should I believe?
When was using Brave on phone, it was for few minutes daily reading some news, so cannot determine how much is battery-friendly.
The same applies to Vivaldi on phone, but I have read several posts on Reddits complaining Vivaldi on phone is energy-intensive.
My brain flags such websites, before any security solutionsI was almost expecting the website or file to be flagged by Avast or F-Secure
Can you insert an image of your sandbox status in Vivaldi?
Is this what you mean? I had no idea about that function, had to look it up. I have no idea what it can show, but I guess I will find out.

Yes, partly.
This very important area is missing:
Code:
features: [
{
"enabled": true,
"name": "NetworkServiceSandbox"
},
{
"enabled": false,
"name": "RendererAppContainer"
},
{
"enabled": true,
"name": "WinSboxDisableExtensionPoint"
},
{
"enabled": true,
"name": "WinSboxZeroAppShim"
},
{
"enabled": false,
"name": "WinSboxNoFakeGdiInit"
},
{
"enabled": false,
"name": "WinSboxRestrictCoreSharingOnRenderer"
},
{
"enabled": true,
"name": "EnableCsrssLockdown"
}
]Meanwhile, you can see that “Network service” is not sandboxed and is not even in “AppContainer” compared to my Chrome.
Thank you very much.

That's the pragmatic way to view it. You have to ignore the fanboy noise on both sides and look at the actual utility. Even with the baggage, the browser has a specific use case if you configure it right.I'm the same way, I know what I like and why, but am also willing to hear the other side of things of what I may be missing, then make my own choice apart from any unintentional "peer pressure" of the forum.

I’m giving it a spin, but strictly as a 'burner', no sync enabled, and absolutely no high-value assets like banking. Chrome stays the default for the Google ecosystem and financials, I want that traffic predictable.
Brave gets the dirty work, forums and social media where you actually need the lockdown. Basic compartmentalization. NextDNS stays system-wide to filter the pipe, while Brave just handles the cosmetic cleanup and script blocking that DNS can't catch.
I’m well aware of its past, so I'm giving it a chance, but it stays on a very short leash.
Exactly.
Check what you have set to “false” compared to what I have set to “true” with my image.
It can be concluded that, considering only sandbox security and disregarding 1,000 other parameters, my Chrome is now more secure than your Brave.
However, you can obviously make it more secure...
Have a good evening, and thank you again for your help.
