Clearly these issues, and more, are Brave issues because I don’t have these issues when using Firefox, Chrome, or Safari on my MacBook, but I do have them with Brave on all my PCs. Too many updates with no explanation as to what the updates fix, if anything, or why I should perform an update.
BRAVE REWARDS REVIEW PC
No way (that I’m aware of) to keep bookmarks in sync with Brave browsers on my various PCs so I have to resort to saving bookmarks on one PC and merging them with bookmarks on another PC and Brave’s bookmark merge capability leaves a lot to be desired. You can earn BAT (Brave Rewards) easily by watching Braves privacy focussed Ads. But this is still a work in progress for now, Brave Search ads are not eligible for Brave Rewards. Ultimately, our vision is to expand the Brave Ads ecosystem to include search ads that reward users for viewing them. often doesn’t fix the issue, but does cause me to have to reenter login data for dozens of websites I use regularly. Brave Search is ad supported and, unlike other search providers, our ads adhere to the principle of privacy-first. Some URLs get redirected to an alternative webpage for no apparent reason (Walmart, Spotify, others) and clearing caches, cookies, history, etc. Some websites won’t come up at all (or take a very long time to come up). Some website’s downloads end up in la-la land (i.e., I have no idea where Brave put the download, but it acts like the download was successful) so for those websites I have to switch browsers to get the documents downloaded to where I tell them to download. Here is a short list of some of the issues (the ones I can remember) that I’ve run into with the Brave browser over the years.

All browsers have their issues and design quirks, but at some point you have cut your losses and settle for the one you have the least problems with and for me it’s Firefox. Brave has gotten worse and worse over the last few years to the point where I find myself wasting far too much time attempting to debug Brave’s issues. I think it’s time to kick Brave browser to the curb.
