Brave is a web browser that uses components from Chrome to build a more security-conscious browser which also has an alternate advertising mechanism with revenue sharing.
Like Chrome, it's missing fundamental things.

- I've been using for a few weeks. It's nice and fast and works well enough. I like that I can actually organize bookmarks, unlike Chrome.
-
2018-03-27 - Some weeks ago I switched from Firefox.
- I would later abandon this experiment.

- Clean, simple and fast like Chrome. Obviously a knockoff that I hope they significantly diverge from to turn this into a real browser.
- I like orange. I wish it had a dark theme.
- I see no theming functionality.
- I see no extensions/addons functionality.
- I see a reference to using a version of flash, but no plugins functionality.
- Accesskeys with
alt
oralt-shift
do not work. -
Menu
- I can tap
alt
to view it. - I cannot press
alt+key
to go to a particular entry, e.g.alt-h
for help. - Cannot be made to be permanent. If accesskeyed even worked, then the menu constantly appearing and disappearing, bouncing everything around, would be fucking godawfully annoying.
- I can tap
-
About > Helpd
- Cannot copy the content of the help screen. Ugh.
- Cannot keep this window up and interact with the browser. Fuck man, I have to manually type things into a text file..
- Like Chrome, cannot
control-shift-pageup/pagedown
to move a browser around. Even with the mouse it's annoying. - Hovering over another tab gives a greyed out version of it. While cute, this greyness is fucking annoying.
- Like Chrome, cannot assign a keyword to a bookmark, forcing me to go and look for bookmarks. Fuck that.
-
Bookmarks Manager -
control-shift-o
control-f
doesn't go to the 'search bookmarks' field. I wonder what the difference is between these two searches.
right click > inspect element
does not let me copy the text. What the fuck is the point of it, then?-
When editing a blog entry
- Pressing pagedown jumps the whole page before settling into a new position for the text editing field.
- Upon
control-f
to find, the mouse focus is removed from the text area.
-
Uninstalling didn't even prompt. I was hoping it would prompt me to delete user data.
