If you like the way Chromium looks and feels then yes it's very worth it. Personally I switched from Firefox to Brave due to their different approaches to fingerprinting protection which I consider a huge privacy issue. Firefox seems to take the approach of making everyone look the same all the time, but not enough people use the locked down version for it to be effective and they still leak enough Javascript-level information that that even within the "all look the same" crowd you will stand out, for example they spoof the request user agent but not the javascript-level user agent string (maybe that was a bug and has been fixed?). Brave on the other hand takes my preferred approach which is to muddy the water as much as possible, they spoof as many data points to make you look as unique as possible, between every user and between ever session (which is especially important imho). With Brave if you want a fingerprinting website to think you're someone new you just need to open a new session.

There isn't much to say about it beyond the buffs to privacy, as that's really it's purpose, to be Chrome but more privacy focused.

It's ok. It certainly doesn't hurt to try it. I tried using it as a daily driver a couple times and went back to Firefox. In my opinion, Vivaldi is better than Brave and I also prefer it to Firefox.

I was a diehard FF user from the early 2000s to 2019. One of my users emailed me to ask if my browser plugin worked on Brave. I tried it and was shocked at how fast it was.

I dearly miss Tree Style Tabs (and make do with a Chrome extension that mostly works, but is annoyingly in a separate window), I can't go back to FF. The speed difference is too great. YMMV, I'm on a 2017 MBP, base model, and I typically have dozens of tabs open across several windows.

I run a portable version of brave in a 1Gb ramdisk.

Works great, and no mess left on the pc, apart from somehow Microsoft messes with things and writes stuff to a C:\...\Appdata\local\Brave Software folder...which I auto-delete every boot, just in case it's there. Something to do with the 'default' browser always trying to be edge. FU MS.

Apart from severely going thru the settings, take a look at the "brave://flags/" (no quotes), for more advanced ways to break things.

I'm happy with it. It's pretty much like Chrome/Chromium (more responsive and performant than Firefox on macOS) but with some privacy settings/tweaks [0]. All of the cryptocurrency features can be turned off. The only thing I dearly miss from Firefox is Awesomebar. Brave's/Chromium's Omnibar is terrible in comparison. A lot of times you'll need to go to History to search for the same keywords and click the first result...

It is worth giving it a try, why not. I'm a Firefox user and I gave it a try for ~3 months out of boredom (and perception of higher speed). The novelty wore off and I went back to FF, but now I know why I like it more.

With Brave I never really bought into the advertising model so all those little donation buttons and crypto suggestions started to bother me.

Not really. I used to use it, but it was noticeably slower than Firefox and ungoogled chromium. It's basically just ungoogled chromium with a bunch of extensions preinstalled.

I find Brave useful when a website requires Chrome. Also, Brave has a built-in Tor client.

yes but ı’m missing send to device service
