Brave " A New Browser"
« on: June 04, 2017, 08:40:57 AM »
I am currently testing Brave.  Has built in ad blocker, very fast.

So far so good.  (running Windoze 10 64 bit)

How does it compare to the functionality of Chrome. I like chrome because I can access my sign ons, passwords and bookmarks from any computer I log in to.

Does it have the ability to easily block videos and audio that automatically start when you open a page?

Never heard of it until you mentioned it.
I kind of wish I had known about it, I just switched from firefox to chrome yesterday... firefox is dead to me now with them disabling pretty much all useful function that I need for work and device management... and unlike 5 years ago, firefox is now slower than IE.
Had I not spent all day getting chrome and plugins all setup and configured, I would have given it a try.
I might fire up a VM and tinker with it. I'm not a google fan... they are spying, leftard bastards and I don't like patronizing them in any way. But the chrome plugin availability and development is spectacular at this point

I have been giving Brave a pretty solid workout.  Please note I also am on a new laptop and now running the upgraded Windoze 10 X64.  It has been bullet proof so far on all that I have run.  I would like to spend more time but I am currently on dead line to get on the road for an extended trip. 

I will be off line for a protracted period of time. 

I am happy to be able to move away from Chrome as it no longer supported flash player.   So far Brave does not have that liability.
