I love the textflow feature of the opera browser for reading FR on my phone. It zooms the text to something readable and into a single column... no swiping back and forth to read across the page.
I loaded up Brave a while back and it sure is fast. No LastPass support so I can’t easily use it for much other than reading FR on my laptop/desktop.

You can have as many different browsers loaded onto your computer as you want, and use them all at the same time if you feel like. That's cool, but it's not for me. I'm happy with my one browser. I've been using Firefox since it first came out, and really don't want to use another browser unless I'm forced to.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, is my motto.

Bookemarked. Hope it is better than Mozilla/Firefox.

That is my complaint with Firefox and the variations -- Palemoon, CyberFox, IceDragon. Every rapid release version breaks another extension. Many extension creators gave up on trying to keep up. A lot of excellent, useful extensions have gone by the wayside, but a few have been picked up by other programmers.
I am currently using IceDragon version which is about 3 major versions behind, because the upgrades break more extensions.
Rapid release does more damage than good, but the braintrust at Mozilla doesn't seem to realize that.

The Brave web browser is fast when it is working. I opened it a 2nd time and get a white screen. I try a 3rd time and the browser shuts down. I try a 4th time and get a white screen again.
It also needs the ability though to choose fonts like Firefox does Tools> Options> Content as for example in Firefox I use Open Sans which makes reading Free Republic easier to read.

I switched from Times New Roman in Internet Options in the Control Panel to Bookman and I believe that this is what caused Brave to become buggy. I switched back and no issues now. I think Brave looks there for the font.

Check your task manager when running this thing.
My experience: One instance of Brave launches half a dozen Brave processes.

FF was a bloated CPU hog.
I’ll definitely give this a try.

I have used Brave off and on with no problems.
Their Bitcoin micropayment system to support websites (read eventually FreeRepublic is just great I think).
In effect the user will earn 10% of the ad take and be able to bitcoin transfer it to websites they elect.
Here is a link to a very quick review of Brave running in a Linux environment.
Short Brave Review
Another very good browser to try is Vivaldi which is run by ex-Opera people. Very nice as it has access to all Chrome extensions.

You might want to try Firefox ESR which is their version intended for a corporate environment. It allows you to leave older extensions in place and ignore the “compatibility checking”.
Many times it’s not that an extension is broken, but that this checker just locks it out. My four “obsolete” extensions work fine under ESR.
To: Enlightened1
My reading about Brave is that it has its own user tracking and personalized ad serving, but that it's supposed to be "better" because it's all kept on Brave's own server rather than by the advertisers.
To me, this is "better" in the same way that gonorrhea is "better" than AIDS. I'll stick with Firefox and my own mix of ad and tracker blocking.
To: infool7
Since my last message, I have downloaded and installed Brave. So far it has run without a hitch. The only thing that concerns me is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to make it your default browser.

To: grobdriver
Yeah...I see that too. The memory used by all these processes is more than FF uses altogether. Odd.

Sure you can. Works just like my iPad safari browser. Email, text......

You can check out “Default Programs” in Windows 7 at least and assign Brave as your default.
