Advice Request What's your thoughts on Brave Browser?

[BearHug]

Recently I heard about this Browser which claims to be faster than Chrome. I used it and found that it is really faster than Chrome. But Is it Safe?

I tried for some days i didn't like i uninstall it, got back to chrome for now and soon maybe to firefox nightly full time i keep checking what the new updates bring.

Good but lack of features...now it's not good maybe later

There are better options now.
Try Yandex or opera and you'll see nice and fast browsers

I'll give another +1 for Yandex.Browser. It has more functions and usability compared to Chrome.

Tried it a few times under advice from @BugCode but in the I gave up and went back to Waterfox.

One of the things I like about Brave Beta is their staff's quick response time on Brave Community. I am impressed with this, and Brave Beta development overall. Very nice!

But the translator still very bad

Like all Chromium clones it's WAY behind in security updates, Brave is good for family/friends who aren't techy for that install-and-forget ad and crap blocking but in reality, it's nothing more than old Chromium code with an adblocker, fingerprinting protection and HTTPS everywhere. Hardened Firefox with a couple of extensions will excel it in every single way.

How about Opera web browser?

How about Opera web browser?

It's owned by a Chinese company, I won't go near it with a barge pole. Almost all Chromium clones are either massively outdated or have their own telemetry/bad privacy practices. Chrome is kept up to date but I'd also avoid that with a barge pole. I'd go for pure Chromium if I desperately wanted Chromium.

You avoided the question, How outdated is Opera compared to Chrome?

Which for a mobile browser is pretty good. Considering they don't normally have extension support.
