Brave starts out pretty great. Whenever I get a new phone and redownload it for the first time, it succeeds in being the perfect ad blocker but after a few months, it stops blocking the ads and pop ups and no matter what I do, I can never fix it, which is the only reason I use it to begin with. I really love using it but I wish it was consistent.

Happy with the turn on option of the multiple blocking of pop-ups coming from various countries (wording as the language spoken in the country, ie. Chinese, Russian, etc....). It is so annoying to search for something benign as a recipe and constant pop-ups repeated appear while you're viewing ingredient list. I have had to literally close out the annoying pop-ups over and over again without even quickly looking as the ingredient list because pop-ups appear that rapidly.

Worked incredibly well. Until it didn't. Moved over to a new phone (OnePlus 13) and now every individual page load takes between 5-10 seconds. No discernible reason why. Settings were identical between both phones, and I combed the settings menu for hours before I eventually gave up and went back to (sighs) Chrome. Lord knows, I'm tired of Google, but I also don't have time to wait THAT long for every page to load.

My favorite browser hands down. I've used Firefox, Chrome, Adblock browser, Opera, my phone's browser, and others but Brave is my favorite. It blocks annoying ads, pop-ups, and more. I've learned to sync it across my devices, so when I'm on my tablet, I can open the tabs from my phone. I also use it on my computer as well. The only time I use Chrome is when something isn't showing up because the browser is blocking it.

Love Brave, much better than other browsers. However I keep running into an issue lately. Even though I've toggled it on, media/videos no longer plays in the background. Very annoying when trying to multitask on mobile. Troubleshooting methods for both the app and my phone have not helped. Other apps of mine don't have this problem, so I think it's brave.

Functionality of Chrome, but better! I was skeptical of this browser, and the name and icon felt a bit funny. but I gave it a try with some other browsers, and this thing is awesome! works great for blocking ads, and lets me play music and videos with the screen off, in the background etc! There are occasional times it freezes up, but that's not common. adding shortcuts yo the homescreen is a bit less functional than chrome. Otherwise, great job guys. really like it, especially that it's free
