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?
What's your thoughts on Brave Browser?

The speed of a browser is influenced by how many elements it is loading on the webpage you are using to test it.
If you block more elements, you will get more speed, on any browser. There are browser extensions that can do that, or you can use native Chrome settings, like I do.
I agree with those posters who were concerned about slow security updates for Chromium browsers. If security is your number one concern then use Chrome or Edge.

Major downside to GC with Brave, it's not updated as fast as what Chrome is. Which can be a potential security threat.

Very. It's on 71.0.3578.80 which was released on December 4th.
Way is a bit of a stretch. It's literally one Chromium update behind.

My answer was in reference to Opera. @Spawn asked how outdated Opera was compared to Chrome.
Also you missed a Brave release: Release Channel v0.60.45 - Upgraded Chromium to 72.0.3626.109
v0.60.47 will be released shortly too, which I expect will upgrade Chromium to its latest version.

I tried Brave but found it sluggish and feature-limited with a mediocre content blocker. The only Chromium derivative I like is Slimjet, which is also 1-2 Chromium versions behind but runs very fast and has a decent content blocker. Slimjet also worked well with Tampermonkey when last used it.

I have been using Vivaldi for years and have been very happy with it.

Tried Brave but not totally happy with it, difficult to find a cleaner that supports it & for reasons unclear it just doesn't feel right - Vivaldi is great, I have an issue at the moment with very very narrow unusable tabs, the tab width slider used to work fine but now does nothing, must contact support. Yandex is an interesting browser, for me it's maybe the slickest browser Ive ever used, not so sure of it's heritage though - However using it now, maybe will end up with Chrome again? I really like Opera & my alternative browser (Detest MS Edge it's clunky & feels like a browser 20 years ago on Windows 95)

So true for me. I keep coming back to Edge for security, simplicity, nice UI. I realize I am in a minority on this one. Oh well ... :barefoot::barefoot::barefoot: I could be in the pay of MS!
I use Brave as my main desktop browser and mobile browser I am not a "whole lot of bells and whistles" type, so it fits my needs perfectly.
Its built in security/privacy features with Adguard desktop over the top limits my need for extensions to just a password manager.

Yeah, me too on the Brave just not feeling quite right. Sometimes you need to give things a chance... we all become creatures of habit. And sometimes you just need to move on..
Long ago, I gave Comodo Dragon a long trial... trying to get used to it. It just was not that great. I was relieved to dump it and move on.
When I started using Chrome.... I liked it pretty much immediately.
Must look at Vivaldi. Multiple positive comments in this forum..

After recently moving to Windows 10, I found that I like Edge (with uBO) enough that I'm currently using it as my only backup for FirefoxSo true for me.

I'm going to be honest about what I think of the Navigators.... "It's a necessary evil"
