I tried Brave a while back and it was unwieldy. The fact that I could not navigate using the backspace button finally drove me away.
I switched to Opera, but now it seems that is controlled by the chinese.
One of my big pet peeves as well, that you cant use the backspace button to go back. I asked the Brave forum if they will allow users to be able to activate this option in a future version and they didn’t give me any confidence they were even considering it.
