Unfortunately, many of their features are pending on at least one platform, so you may not get full functionality depending on where you use Brave. Having the settings, bookmarks, and history on the bottom-right in minimalist icons gets rid of the busy top bar that a lot of browsers have.īrave seems to do what any browser should – you can customize the dashboard, arrange tabs and windows in different ways, save bookmarks, search from the address bar, etc. We really liked how the Brave dashboard was laid out. That’s not to say Brave isn’t safe, but safer than Firefox? Potentially not. It seems that they have many of the same default privacy offerings, but Firefox comes out ahead with features like Primary Password and instant-erasure of online info when the browser’s closed. It’s also unclear how Brave is so much more secure than Firefox. It wasn’t slow enough to be very noticeable, but it definitely didn’t seem to be considerably faster, either. In fact, Brave seemed to very slightly lag behind the other two browsers when searching for the same phrase. Personally, I didn’t find Brave to move faster than Chrome or Safari. The competitionĪccording to its website, Brave is 3x faster than Chrome (opens in new tab) (view their speed test here (opens in new tab)), and it has better default privacy features than Firefox (opens in new tab).

On mobile, you can use Brave with Android version 5 or later and iOS version 13 or later.
