### "Ottima browser se non il migliore"

March 31, 2026

5.0

Molto positiva e l'utilizzo tutti i giorni per la mia navigazione quotidiana anche se raramente utilizzo chrome per via di alcuni add on che non mi permette di utilizzare su brave

Pros

Mi piace assai il fatto di poter navigare con pochissime ads all'interno dei siti, oltretutto sono consapevole dei pochi dati che raccolgono se non l'essenziale e mi sento più al sicuro

Cons

Non sempre è ben integrato con tutte le applicazioni che si sviluppano o in alcuni casi alcuni siti ti bloccano il caricamento di alcuni loro contenuti

Switched from

[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/)

perchè mi apre tutte le ads e sono consapevole della quantità di informazioni che prende solo in navigazione

### "Browser essenziale per una navigazione tranquilla e indisturbata"

April 12, 2026

5.0

Direi che oggi giorno l'utilizzo di brave come browser principale è quasi necessaria, in primis per il suo stile minimalistico ma allo stesso tempo molto semplice e bello esteticamente, ma anche per la sua caratteristica principale che lo distingue da tutti gli altri browser, ovvero la presenza di adblocker integrato che permette la navigazioni di tutti i siti senza essere continuamente disturbati da pubblicità invasive e virus che si autoinstallano nel proprio pc.

Pros

Sono ormai 2 anni circa che utilizzo brave come browser principale, e devo dire che non mi pento per niente della mia scelta, anzi, direi che è fondamentale per l'utilizzo che ne faccio ( sia lavorativo che non )

Cons

Al momento non ho trovato nessuno svantaggio nell'utilizzo, perchè ha tutte le caratteristiche necessarie per una buona navigazione

Switched from

[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/)

Perchè dall'aggiornamento di chrome gli adblocker sono stati praticamente depotenziati ( passaggio da manifest v2 a v3 ) e visitare un sito con continue interruzioni è praticamente impossibile, per questo quindi ho preso la decisione di passare a brave

### "A Safe, Smooth, and Ad-Free Browsing Experience That Just Works"

May 12, 2025

5.0

Brave has become my default and only browser on my laptop. The only time I switch to another one is when I need to test for responsiveness and browser compatibility on the web apps I’m developing. I really appreciate their advocacy for user privacy, and overall, I get a peaceful and satisfying experience thanks to their strong ad-block feature. It feels intentional, minimalist, and efficient.

Pros

I really love how Brave makes me feel safer while browsing. It blocks ads really well-no more spammy websites that feel like phishing traps! One of my favorite things is being able to play videos or music on YouTube without ads, even without a premium subscription. I also find the sync feature super helpful when moving to a new laptop—it keeps all my bookmarks, settings, and browser footprints intact. I love that Brave is based on the Chromium engine - it's a modified version with added features and privacy protections, as well as removed features that might impact performance or privacy. The UI and UX are smooth, and it didn’t require much adjustment as a former Chrome user. The plugin customization settings also make me feel more in control of how I use my tools.

Cons

Maybe because of the ad-blocking feature, some plugins don’t work well - especially the color pickers and screen capture extensions I’ve tried. It's a bit limiting when certain tools you rely on don’t function as expected.

### "oBrave Browser allows for privacy focused web browsing and ad blocking"

April 14, 2025

5.0

oMy overall experience with Brave has gone well. Not having to deal with the enormous number of ads and pop ups is a massive relief and makes browsing the internet so much faster and enjoyable. Having the ability to use Brave’s own search engine “Brave Search” is also nice as well so I do not have to deal with the awful ads and sponsored links. It also has crypto, and AI features built in if that is something someone is interested in as well. The only gripe is these features are mostly on by default and can get a little too “in your face.” However, the browser is decently user configurable, and you can turn these features off if you do not want them and modify things to how you like it.

Pros

oPrivacy Focused oHas own separate search engine different from Google or Bing oHas crypto & AI features built in oAbility to disable features you do not want. oMore configurable by the user with sensible options compared to other browsers

Cons

oCrypto and AI features can be a little too “in your face” by default

### "An enhanced Chrome, with more privacy and protection against cookies"

April 16, 2025

5.0

I've used Brave to close to 5/6 years, and won't be going back to other browsers. It rides on Chrome's system so is very easy to navigate, has a super intuitive layout that resembles Chrome exactly, making it very easy to get used to even when I have started using it. I've found that browsing performance on Brave is stable, and it doesn't really crash much, even when lots of tabs are opened. When rebooting it's also easy to reopen past tabs. Extensions from Google Chrome Store can be downloaded for use directly, which is a plus from other browsers like Firefox.

Pros

privacy and ad-block features, also sync chain that makes data and saved data transfer, bookmarks, and saved passwords especially seamless and easy

Cons

it does sometimes have a delay when syncing between old and new devices, certain things such as opened tabs are still unable to be synced across devices

Switched from

[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/)

Added privacy and ad block feature, and support for innovative products and browser options

### "Ziemlich gut"

December 3, 2025

4.0

Schneller Browser, Handling z.T. gewöhnungsbedürftig vor allem bei Lesezeichen und beim Drucken. Manche Downloads funktionieren nicht.

Pros

Keine Werbung, kein Tracking, das ist super! Sogar YouTube Videos kann man ohne Unterbrechungen ansehen. Der Browser ist schnell.

Cons

Das Thema Lesezeichen ist bei Firefox deutlich besser gelöst. Übersichtlichkeit und die Möglichkeit, Anmerkungen einzutragen. Auch das Drucken aus einer PDF-Datei könnte weniger umständlich sein, auch hier ist das Handling bei Firefox einfacher und übersichtlicher.

### "My main browser so far"

March 21, 2025

5.0

Pros

I've been using Brave as my primary browser for a few years now. I find it fast, stable, and full of useful features. The built-in ad blocker is definitely great—I keep it enabled for all sites, and browsing has become cleaner and faster. I also really like the idea of crypto rewards; they accumulate very slowly, but in the first few years of using it, I managed to earn a few dozen euros by exchanging them a bit. Highly recommended!

Cons

Nothing. Sometimes the crypto wallet disconnects, and you need to log in again. It's nothing annoying or blocking, but I thought I'd mention it.

Switched from

[Firefox](https://www.capterra.com/p/228987/Firefox/)

### "Navegacion rapida y segura"

March 12, 2025

4.0

Utilizo Brave para realizar todas mis tareas, ya que es muy sencillo de utilizar y sus funciones de bloqueo de publicidad hacen mi navegacion mas rapida, ademas de que mantiene las pestañas que abro en un modo seguro

Pros

Una de las mejores ventajas que tiene Brave es su capacidad para filtrar anuncios no deseados, permtiendome tener una naveacion mas fluida y realizar mi trabajo sin distracciones innecesarias.

Cons

El unico detalle negativo que e encontrado en Brave es que cuando trato de hacer multiples tareas este tiende a realentizarce, de resto funciona perfecto

### "el navegador conmas alta privacidad en la web"

February 3, 2025

5.0

En lineas generales Brave a sido un excelente navegador, extremadamente rapido y por todas las funciones que posee puedo decir que es uno de los mejores navegadores que existen que protegen tu privavacidad.

Pros

Me gusta este navegador por varias razones, pero principalmente porque sus funciones de privacidad son de primera categoria y su gestion de recursos es tan buena que puede cargar cualquier sitio web mas rapido que otros navegadores promedio.

Cons

Un punto en contra de Brave es que a nivel de sincronizacion solo sincroniza las URL ingresadas pero no carga el historial completo como tal.

### "Great browser for unbiased searching and browsing. Highly recommend!"

January 23, 2025

5.0

I had a great experience with Brave. It is safer to use, not only for direction of searching but also with privacy settings available that are not available with other mainstream browsers.

Pros

The non-biased web and search results allow me to be more in control of directing my searching.

Cons

I had some minor issues with loading certain websites and documents; some extensions I like with other browsers were not available.

Switched from

[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/)

I could tell that chrome was guiding my search results rather than letting me organically find information, they also wanted too much personal information to use their services.

High search speed and reassuring that Brave has good control over my data. Earning bat is easy once the account is registered.

Pros

I like that I get paid to search the web. I find Google search and my data is safe. Brave also has ad blockers so annoying ads don't pop up and steal mine private data

Cons

I think there should be more payment options.I found it a bit difficult to complete the registration of the account to earn bat

### "More privacy and safety, but not for entry-level users."

November 18, 2024

4.0

I started using Brave due to cybersecurity concerns and I'm not going back to other browers. Filtering ads, trackers, cookies really makes browsing faster and safer. There are a lot of things that Brave needs to do to become perfect, especially interesting to a less "tech educated" audience.

Pros

The ability to filter a lot of cookies and invasive advertising makes browsing safer and with less data consumption.

Cons

Their in built search engine is terrible and useless.

### "A solid web browser but ultimately not suitable for our needs."

May 27, 2025

4.0

Overall it was a positive experience. I tried to get used to its quirks, but ultimately it lost out due to the previously mentioned 'cons'.

Pros

A solid web browser with lots of excellent security and privacy features, available for many operating systems including Android, Linux and Windows.

Cons

The focus on Brave Rewards didn't appeal to me, and there seems to be no way to stop tabs loading in the background when the browser has been set to automatically open previous tabs on startup.

Switched from

Incrível, a quantidade de publicidades e anúncios que o Brave desativa, tornam a navegação muito mais agradável, permitindo poupar poucos segundos em cada site, que no final do mês são horas que poupamos. Aconselho a todos os meus amigos e familiares!

July 6, 2024

5.0

Pros

First I heard and started using Brave because of its ads blocker feature. You can access any website you want, without suspicious and unwanted ads popping up. After exploring the browser in-depth I realized there are even more advantages like being one of the safest browsers while in private mode, thanks to its built-in Shields for cookies, trackers, etc., built-in free VPN, and Firewall.

Cons

What I found that can be improved is the syncing feature, when I tried to sync the have account on my PC and 2 phones (Android and iPhone) sometimes not all bookmarks are updated accordingly.
