### "My Experience with Brave Browser"

June 23, 2022

5.0

Great experience. Brave is my everyday browser. Consider myself a power user and supporter of the project.

Pros

1) Browser if fast. Doesnt use up much of my laptop memory resources. 2) Can access all my favorite Chrome extensions as browser is built with Chromium; 3) Privacy centric; no Google logins - No tracking 4) Built in crypto wallet. Browser is built with a pro-blockchain view. 5) Can earn BAT (Basic Attention Token) through viewing ads through everyday normal usage of the browser 5) Ability to sync bookmarks on Mobile and Desktop applications

Cons

Only issue; No bookmark backup. Maybe utilizing blockhain technology may provide a solution?

Chrome hogs too much of my laptop's memory resources. Firefox, their extension store isn't as diverse as Chrome's extension store.

### "An amazing privacy focused browser"

July 31, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with brave has been positive, other than few small issues I love using brave. It fast without any trackers and ads. The UI is better than chrome. 10/10 would recommend.

Pros

At first, I was a little skeptical about moving to brave from chrome but when I started using it daily, then I understood the how superior brave is. It Ad blocking and blocking trackers works really well. The tor functionality comes with the browser. I found brave to be faster than chrome despite it being chromium based. Also, the fact I can use chrome extensions made my transition easier. Also, The fact I can earn BAT with random ads is good.

Cons

While using chrome web store, I noticed that I can't use some of the extensions. Also, as a developer, I couldn't fully move to brave as certain feature I work on can only be tested on chrome. I tried to do it in brave but it just wouldn't work.

### "Brave - This browser is my daily driver"

June 14, 2023

5.0

Brave is my daily driver for web browsing. It is well designed and responsive when browsing. Compatibility with sites hasn't been an issue.

Pros

Brave's support for privacy is great in today's online world. It blocks adware/malware, trackers and supports chrome plugins.

Cons

This browser can get resource hungry based on the number of extensions installed. You need a faster machine with as much RAM as possible.

### "Fav Browser"

January 5, 2022

5.0

Overall i'm happy with it, and will continue to use it as the main browser.

Pros

Well I picked it because it's Chromium based. So it has all the good qualities and all websites work well on chromium. the additional selling point for Brave is that it's privacy based. has built in ad blockers, tracker blocker, fingerprint and scripts blocker...

Cons

tab and bookmarks management. still have to use third party apps to manage tabs and bookmarks properly.

### "Brave Review"

July 8, 2022

5.0

I love the app so so much. And I can make YT videos on it upload it and watch movies anime series and much much more!

Pros

What I liked the most is that it was really easy to understand how to use it and I felt a relief that I didn't need to feel like being watched 24/7 by someone else on the internet and that I have my privacy.

Cons

There's nothing that I didn't enjoy. I guess for a new user that has been used to browse through google chrome or mozila would be kinda weird to get used to this browser but with time it will be easy.

Switched from

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

Because there was an add on YT that said "do you ever feel like being watched all the time. well you are." and then she countinued to talk about all the cons and bad things that chrome browser can't protect you from and I felt scared so she said to download brave and so I did. That's why I changed to it. And I've never felt better by making this desicion.

### "My Favorite Web Browser"

September 15, 2022

5.0

I've had a great experience with Brave Browser.

Pros

This browser is my favorite, hands down. There are tons of privacy, ad and tracker blocking built-in and since it's based on Chromium, it can use all of Chrome's extensions just like Microsoft Edge can as well. I really enjoy being rewarded for clicking on ads as well. The Brave Rewards program is amazing.

Cons

I honestly don't have anything negative to say about this browser.

### "Good alternative to Chrome"

May 22, 2022

5.0

Pros

It works exactly like Chrome but with better privacy, i.e. the default 'Shields Up' mode that protects your browsing from trackers and ads.

Cons

The tradeoff for that protection is once in a while, you'll run into a website that doesn't run properly. Typically, once you turn off the 'Shields Up' mode (there's a toggle on the right of the address bar), the site will work. In years of using Brave, I've only come across one website that couldn't function properly in it even with 'Shields Down' and I have had to switch to Chrome to use it.

### "Brave is the next gen browser"

August 4, 2021

5.0

My overall experience on brave has been fast precise and privacy protected. These all properties are very crucial for me and I think it should help others as they start using the brave browser.

Pros

As promised my brave, they offer ad-free internet browsing and privacy is their crucial asset it removes ad trackers and unnecessary stuff from the websites you visit and makes your browsing experience faster. It also has an option to view ads and it pays for it in the form of a Basic Attention Token (BAT), a crypto token which has real value and which can be either used to tip the creators on the internet or save for yourself and convert into conventional money from its crypto form.

Cons

For as long as I've been using brave I couldn't find any difficulty on the Brave browser.

### "Hossam's Brave Browser Review"

September 8, 2021

5.0

I like this web browser very much, especially using its unique feature of the free VPN, which doesn't stop and doesn't have a time limit like most free VPN out there.

Pros

I've been using Brave Browser for a year and a half now, and i can reply on it in my daily browsing, what differentiates it to other browsers is that it has its own free VPN when you try the browsing with Tor option. It also has its rewarding program, it is light & doesn't use much resources.

Cons

I didn't face any problems using Brave browser & VPN, i like all of its features.

### "The most private browser"

January 25, 2024

5.0

Pros

Brave is great if you don’t want to see ads and you prefer a private navigation. It’s almost the same core as Chrome, so it works with most websites fluidly

Cons

Is a very new browser, so sometimes is not mentioned when some websites recommend to use certain browsers. It also allow only one session. It has a lot of features but it may be a little overwhelming but you can just ignore them

Switched from

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

Brave is more safe and private, and it has some interesting features like the pay per view for ads, you can literally earn some cents per month (just a little, but without any actual effort)

May 15, 2023

4.0

Very positive. I tell all my friends and coworkers about it.

Pros

I love that they got the ad-blocking right, and that the mission behind the browser is ultimately my privacy. It's also cool that they give out Brave rewards that I can use or give away to contributors that I like.

Cons

Nothing. It's my preferred browser and I use it every day.

### "good for a beginner or intermediate user"

January 29, 2022

4.0

At the end, I am now better protected from big tech collecting data on me and making my daily activities more private.

Pros

The intuitive ad-blocking, tracker-blocking, and threat protection in one button features are the most valuable. No personal information is collected because there is no account to sync with, only a passcode to sync with an Android or another device.

Cons

The incentive is gimmicky and ineffective; it displays advertisements in the form of notifications in exchange for BAT, an altcoin (basic attention token). Those could be given to a website or blog owner or a YouTube creator. A month's allowance is $0.35, which is insufficient for so many irritating notifications.

### "Surfing the Web with Privacy and Speed"

February 10, 2023

5.0

Brave Browser is a great option for anyone looking for a privacy-focused and fast browsing experience. it has been a valuable addition, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a secure and fast browsing experience.

Pros

Its built-in ad blocker not only speeds up page load times, but also protects from unwanted ads, trackers, and other malicious content. Brave is designed with privacy in mind, and it automatically blocks trackers, encrypts your browsing data, and provides a secure browsing experience, and it uses a combination of innovative technologies to ensure that pages load quickly and efficiently.

Cons

Limited Customization: Brave's interface is straightforward and easy to use, but it lacks customization options compared to other browsers.

I was told about brave from a coworker about 2 years ago and since then have been using it on everything. My Home PC, my work PC, my personal phone, and my work phone. and ive told everyone in my office aswell as my family to make the switch!!

Pros

There's not a single thing Brave doesn't do better then the other browsers out there. 100% the most secure and useful browser i've ever used and i recommend it to everyone i talk to! If your concern is browsing security, Brave is YOUR Browser!!

Cons

I cant name ONE thing Brave does wrong! By far the best on the market.

### "Browser Everyone Needs to Know"

August 24, 2021

4.0

I'm very satisfied with Brave, I've been using it for a few months and I've seen a lot of difference. Although, I work in marketing on a daily basis, and I need to understand online advertising. It's been really nice and relaxing to be able to watch something on Youtube and not have cuts. And my daughters loved it, now they see uninterrupted drawings, and there's a counter on the page that shows how much I'm earning using the tool. That's great.

Pros

I've been using this software for some time now, and I'm really impressed with the lightness and functionality it has. A stunning home screen layout. With beautiful colors and design. I'm totally involved with Brave. Even more, because I didn't pay anything to get it and I'm still earning money every minute I spend using this software. Another plus is the fact that people don't have to watch unwanted advertisements on Youtube, or every second they surf the internet. When people found out about this tool, they soon migrated to it.

Cons

Bad point of this tool is the fact that you have to insert the Translator extension to interact with pages in other languages. Often times the extension doesn't work correctly and doesn't translate the page we need to work on. Maybe if they were able to configure a Brave translator, the tool would be too perfect. Then I would never stop using it. But that doesn't make Brave bad, it's still great navigation software.

### "Brave: Un navegador rápido y seguro"

April 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

Brave: es a mi criterio el navegador más rápido y seguro para una experiencia de navegación mejorada, además de ser gratuito, si lo deseas, te paga por ver publicidades, automáticamente y sin extensiones te permite ver youtube sin publicidades, lo mismo que las páginas. Las extensiones son compatibles con las de Chrome.

Cons

Lo utilizo desde hace mas de dos años y no encuentro puntos bajos comparados con otros navegadores con mas renombre.

This browser is great, it can help me speed up my computer because it consumes very low RAM.It gives you fast and smooth browsing

Pros

Brave is an open source, fast and powerful browser. Its focus on privacy is what distinguishes it from other browsers, as it gives you easy and enjoyable browsing away from annoying ads and advertisements.

May 4, 2023

I simply loved this software and the best browser I have ever used, it is very practical and easy to use, its ad blocker makes the experience excellent, its security is very good and the application makes your browsing fast and completely private. which makes everything even better.

Pros

what I like the most is its blocking of ads, because when other browsers direct you to other pages or expose you to inappropriate and totally random ads, the software blocks any type of targeting or unwanted ads.

Cons

its lack of practicality in its interface, this is the only thing that leaves something to be desired in the software since it is a somewhat complex interface to understand.

### "High-quality browser with an attractive design"

October 30, 2022

5.0

With the use of this Brave tool it is that it is of good quality to be a browser on web pages, it makes me very happy to use it because it is fast and does not consume much RAM memory and it gives me peace of mind because it is compatible with most computers

Pros

I like to use this browser because it maintains several features that make it look attractive and easy to use, I like it because it can be navigated quickly and efficiently. On the other hand, it maintains a privacy protection that generates confidence in me at all times

Cons

What I don't like about brave is that sometimes some of the web pages have formatting errors which makes them not have an attractive image.

### "A browser that pay you for watching ads"

May 27, 2023

4.0

Overall browsing with brave is like a breeze. I would love to see their own app store that offers app focused on privacies.

Pros

Brave has a built in adblocker right from the start. it also blocks trackers and everything automatically. Recently it launched VPN and video calling service. I always loved to earn BAT for browsing. I also loved the news section.

Cons

Number one of my grudge is they still face trouble when showing Google Docs. The problem most probably started from Google. But that's a nuisance. Another thing, I can't customize specific news outlet which are paid and block me from reading anything . I don't want to saw news from these sources. Somehow I can't block those. There should be a filtering option that only offers free news.
