Been using Brave for a couple years now. I loved and used Firefox for years but had to ditch them when they put out a statement along these lines: “At firefox we understand our users are incompetent ignorant morons who believe anything they read so we decided to SAVE you and start censoring the internet for you!” No thanks firefox, you made a good browser and should of just stuck with that.
Yes!!
Same!!
I think Brave is the BEST!!

Atleast Firefox is much better than Chrome atleast in terms of ads and simplicity.
I’d also prefer to use Brave as my browser
I’m using it to, still. Do you you know that Firefox is requesting googleapisXcom every 30 mins by default? It calls safebrowser “Feature”. Daily fresh IP with other metadata, yummy! I’m done with firefox and want to find another browser whos definötely not calling to anywhere as long as I click the link, man. I’m tired of this!

I use Min, its fast, minimal, cool looking and moreover its open sauce. There is literally no reason for me to switch back from Min
I’ve been using “Ungoogled Chromium” for the last few weeks. After using Vivaldi for a few years, which does everything but give you a massage, I’m liking it. Just on my desktop, not the phone yet.
Do you still have to put the keyring password in every time you open it? I tried Brave and it kept on about keyring password. Need the keyring for proton VPN so uninstalling gnome-keyring is not an option. I’ve gone back to Firefox as default now, as the security is better in my opinion.
I’ve never had that issue… 
I installed it following these instructions:

I see it’s just patched to ungoogle chromium. They do stress that this depends on whether Google changes their binaries, if the patches they initiate will still work or not. I give them their due though, as I and a lot of people hate Google for the monopoly they have over the web. I wish Duck Duck Go would make their own browser? I would even pay for the service. I know they have one for mobile, but that is just their search engine compiled as a mobile app. Linux Mint does not have Google installed in Firefox as default, they removed it from the get go. That’s one thing about Firefox I love it gives you choice of search engines to delete or use and google can be deleted altogether, until you sign into YouTube. I’m looking into email alternatives to Google too.
Just “patched?”

It reads to me that the folks who upload their binaries for download can change things that might not work, not Google.
If you use the link to use extensions, you are good to go as far as I have experienced this. I can’t use Ungoogled Chromium on Android because the big G has blocked any form of ad-blocking via extensions…har-har!
On email, I have open accounts elsewhere to test the waters.
I’ve probably made a good $1,000 or so since using brave. Get paid to view an ad is awesome vs google, facebook, an twitters business model.
If you have Pi-Hole you don’t need any ad blockers. I use Pi-Hole, it is on my Pi3, been using it for years.
