Who is using the Brave Browser?
I downloaded the Brave browser to give it a try. It is excellent in many ways, but I have noticed a couple issues. Sometimes, it just loads a blank page. It's not taking a long time to load....it is very quick but just loads a blank page. I can then open Chrome or Firefox and go to the same site and it loads fine. It's not always the same site. It could be any site.

Then there is a minor thing. In Chrome and Firefox when I posti n SigForum and hit "Post Now" the message posts and the pop-up window that I typed the post in will close automatically. In Brave, I have to manually close that window. Perhaps there is a setting to change that - I didn't see one.

I do when I go to a click-bait site like most any news related site.
It works pretty good.

I started using it about 10 days ago in response to a thread posted here.
Yes, there are the little quirks you mentioned, but for me the speed is so much faster than Firefox and the tracking is so much less than Chrome that it's worth it.

Tried it but every video played with a Scots accent.

I use it but not exclusively. Some sites don't work well with it.

Like one other stated I tried it in response to another thread about it here. Used it a couple of days and uninstalled it.

I've downloaded it but don't use it much. There's no easy way to import bookmarks and it's too much trouble to reload all again.

I've heard of it. Haven't tried it. Was using Chrome and Firefox. Became thoroughly fed up with Google and Android, dumped everything Google, incl. Chrome. Now running Firefox and Vivaldi. (Note: Vivaldi, like Brave, is using Chromium's Blink engine.)

Firefox, as of the last two-three updates, has gotten a bit wonky. May try switching to Vivaldi exclusively.

I'm trying it but it does have a few issues.
Seems to take longer on initial loading but searched pages load quicker and without the other ad stuff.

I imported all my Firefox Bookmarks with a couple clicks - it was pretty easy.

No wonder it is Brave, there is nothing there.

I got tired of Firefox taking forever to load. Tried Brave, taking a bit to adjust, but it might be my new browser.

I use it some of the time. It works well on click bait sites. It is not my default browser. I still use IE for that. Firefox seems to have a lot of adware with it.
