Fantastic browser! I haven't tested it thoroughly yet, but I downloaded it because listening to one of my audiobooks caused a massive amount of ads while listening. Like every couple of minutes. It drove me crazy, but within seconds of downloading, it had already caught and blocked 6 ads. It hasn't replaced my main browser, but it does exactly what I need it to, so it's here to stay.

I love this web browser, especially for its ad blocking abilities. But it's latest issue of opening a new page EVERY TIME I freshly open the app is quietly aggravating (see other reviews for how widespread it is). There are other browsers I could use instead of Brave, and the incremental frustration of the new page opening on every fresh open is nearing my limit. May not sound like much, but it's a loss of agency you'll feel too with time. Should be a simple fix, please update!

It's a really good browser and has now become my default browser. It takes some getting use too coming from Chrome and edge. It's mostly around a few quirks with their services, especially brave search. For some reason, my location is incorrect under brave search, which makes finding places while I'm out impossible. I have too unfortunately go back to another search engine in those cases. The AI Leo tends to be incorrect a lot as well, but so is every other AI I have used
