I’ve just started using Brave last week - on both Linux desktop and Macbook. Tried it a couple of years back and found it’s sync feature a bit too clunky and inwieldy (see below about remote computers).
Works well. Some of the annoying nags about doing bitcoin stuff, which makes me wary, is this thing doing other nefarious stuff in the background I’m not aware of or have visibility? Doesn’t seem to be chewing up suspect CPU cycles though… so far, so good…
Using Brave in combination with pi-hole, and I’m getting most ads blocked, not that they bothered me hugely in the first place (and it does provide revenue) for sites that weren’t sticking stuff in your face (and overlaying content - sorry Abishek - Brave blocks all the ads on itsfoss.com - not sure how to re-enable them in Brave).
Getting sync working was reasonably straightforward with two computers side by side (it gets hard when you want to sync a remote computer, and your several hundred character passphrase is time limited and the remote computer is at least an hour away by road or public transport).
Another thing I learned to my regret, on BOTH computers I let it import my Chrome settings, then when I sync’d the two - I got duplicate and triplicate bookmarks! Next time - don’t import from Chrome - sync with another Brave instance instead!
Brave is doing EVERYTHING I was doing in Google Chrome before. All my favourite extensions work in it too, “Faster Bookmarks”, “Recent Bookmarks”, “Gnome Shell Extensions”, “Darkness Pro”, “Dark Theme” for Wikipedia, MS Office…
I’ve stopped using Chromium since Google revoked the sync API - so when I’m using one of my RPi4 machines - I use Firefox (and sync that too - using my gmail account).
Haven’t permanently switched yet, I may yet revert back to Google Chrome.
