I just downloaded and installed it. It looks interesting and is probably worth following; but it looks like the ability to change text font and size is only at the wishlist level and the default they have is not very compatible with my eyesight.

Holy Crap Batman! That’s a freaking fast browser.

Wow. May have to try this out for a while.

I’ve been using it since I saw this thread earlier this afternoon.

I can actually view sites now without the popups, slowdown, crippling of the computer that I had with Win10 browser.

No problems so far.

I installed it and all I get is a white screen. So far, I wouldn’t recommend it. LOL!

there’s like a gazillion forks of FF and it seems like I’ve tried about half of them at one time or another, but always come back to FF because they’re usually the work of one or two people, and sooner or later they make some insane decision that wrecks compatibility with addons, or freeze the version and don’t keep up with critical developments, or simply CAN’T keep up with critical developments.

When I use Firefox (with NoScript) to view the local weather forecast here:

National Weather Service

the edit box and "Go" button for viewing the forecast for another city does not function unless scripting is whitelisted.

With Brave, whitelisting is not necessary; and the edit box and "Go" button work by default.

I also notice that when I go to the web site of a local TV station, I get a clean page with Brave, but get inundated with crap if I use any browser that does no crap blocking.

Brave is obviously blocking a lot of stuff that needs to be blocked. But the question is, if Brave is permissive enough to let the edit box and "Go" button work, then is it permissive enough to allow malicious JavaScript to do its thing?

I just brought it up on my macbook pro.
Faster than Safari and as soon as I tried Breitbart. com, all the ads vanished.
I like it!

I’ve used Brave for a couple of months.

I like it. A lot.
