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.

2022-10-31 - iOS - 1.44.1 (22.10.25.19) ∞

(iOS 15.4)

  • Brave complained about one of the items in the chain needing to be updated.

    • .. It worked when I had it scan a code instead.

  • Brave on iOS is significantly different than Brave on Android.

    • No tab groups.
    • YouTube back/forward videos.
    • Other subtleties.
  • I managed to close a tab, open a new one, begin a YouTube playlist and have music from _the closed tab_ start playing overtop of it. I couldn't figure out what was going on and just closed the browser to stop it all.
  • The playlist feature is fucking incredible. Offline playback is great.

  • I didn't notice that there's a "send tab to other device" feature now; handy.

2016-10-27 - 0.12.6 ∞

Brave               0.12.6
Electron            1.4.18
libchromiumcontent  53.0.2785.143
V8                  5.3.332.47
Node.js             6.50
  • 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 or alt-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.

  • About > Help

    • 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 tab. 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.
