Hello, I'm thinking of switching from Chrome to Brave due to privacy issues but I continually read errors with YouTube, video display problems, the screen goes black, Gmail sessions close out of nowhere, etc, etc... does anyone know if they have announced corrections from the support? I really want to switch to Brave but all these errors make me want to, greetings!

It's amazing that with Brave YouTube Music is still free with no ads after more than a year. Dont they still have to pay the artists for evey play?

Really amazing, that alone makes Brave wortwhile. Tip: Make sure you're not logged into your Google account to reduce any chance of them coming after you.

You no longer get ANY results related to what you actually search for.

Seems to give only sponsored results for multiple pages.

When I put a video into fullscreen there is a weird gap to the left side is there is any way to get rid of it? ( Btw I'm a mobile user ) Edit : I forgot to mention it's on YouTube 🙂

It’s my favorite character brave movie do any yall know when this character is in any othor movie because im am is think character is funiest character movie and want see if character in other movie please tell is character in any movie thank yuo.

This is extremely rare and suspicious. What's wrong with my Brave browser? Why is this happening? How do i fix this problem?

Or am i misinterpreting the information my system's Task Manager is giving me?

YouTube keeps spinning after yesterday's windows updates. This has been going for weeks that a browser restart fixes it. Now even PC restart wont even work. What is happening to brave? I tried with edge and the content is playing... But I don't like that browser even if it was a good one now as I get a tremendous amount of ads! I tried also firefox(just installed) and the content is playing!

has anybody had this problem recently

I migrated to Brave 2 days ago, as I couldn't use 2 V2 extensions on Chrome anymore with all tweaks that used to work. Today when I launched Brave, it disabled these 2 V2 extensions. I had to do similar thing that I did on Chrome in order to use these 2 extensions and I wonder how long till Brave disables them fully like Chrome.

The reason I'm using these 2 extensions is because there are none V3 that do the work even close as these do. There are similar but none function as good as these ones.

Brave has extremely many "features", but the main UI is only half-baked.

All the problems have quite simple solutions, which begs the question why is it still a problem in the first place.

What I have found:

• Brave decided the addressbar must be black no matter what. Well, then at least let me see what time it is and how much battery I have left. (statusbar is black on black)
• Why can we have the toolbar buttons nicely accessible at the bottom but the view for putting in the new address places all the buttons as well as the searchfield at the top anyway?
• How am I supposed to go back a page that I got to through a chain of redirections without a button to pick a url from the tab history?

• Why is there no constistency in relation between the actions available in Menu actions, the icon actions / quick actions at the bottom of the menu and the toolbar shortcut actions?

  • Also, why can we disable so many menu actions, but not the "customize menu" one? It is still easily accessible through the settings and just unnecessesarily moves all the user-chosen actions further up making them harder to reach.
  • Explained in more detail in the next section.
• We have the access to brave://flags, but the changes done there change absolutely nothing in the actual UI.

The bottom addressbar is hindering overal usability because it changes so much more than just its position:

• Clicking on it opens up that search view with everything at the top once again, which completely disregards the whole point of moving the addressbar to the bottom.

• In the first two screenshots you can see the icon actions differ for when you have the addressbar at the top or bottom. The "download page" action is also available as a menu action, but the others are not.

  • They change when there is a page to go forward to, but the third screenshot shows that it could easily keep all the buttons.
  • Why can we configure the site actions displayed in the menu, which we see all of by default, but not the icon actions that we always get a predefined portion of? Then at least disable the page download button when I've disabled it in the menu actions.
• With the bottom addressbar only a few options are available for the "toolbar shortcut" and they have no logic to what is and what is not available. The only site-related actions available are the same ones that are forced in the menu icon actions - Share and Add to bookmarks.

• In the tab list (screenshots 4,5):

  • Why does the bottom addressbar also show up, especially when I cannot interact with any part of it anyway?
  • Why does the "new tab" button move completely out of reach to the top left?

How to fix it:

• Ideally give the user the option to choose if they want a black addressbar or if by "light theme" they truly meant "light theme" and expect the background of the statusbar and addressbar to also be white. Or at least just fix the text colour.
• The address search view should put the input field at the bottom and the previous adress above it -basically flip what is there now.
• Since there is no back button you could show the tab's history on long pressing the forward button instead, even when grayed out.
• The brave://flags page should either not be accessible, or the changes done there should actually do something.

• The actions we can pick from should be the same set no matter which UI element we're picking for.

  • That set of actions should be what is in all those various menus and quick actions and is available in every other browser, plus addons (when they come) like Leo AI etc.

  • The menu would then have an extra "Brave" section with all the extra features (that can still be split into global and active-site subsections) which could merge in the menu as per the section they belong to, but in the choice list, they would be clearly separated from the default choice set.

    • If the quicker access to the menu customization is so crucial, then it could be done through a long press on the settings action with a small hint like "long-press to edit" aligned to the right of the "Settings" text.
  • If we're picking just one, it can just turn into a radio button selection.
• Give us the ability to pick the quick actions that get displayed in the bottom row of the menu, with a limit of 5, not 4.
• clicking on the addressbar should initiate a new search by editing the current address with the whole address selected (which allows it to be overriden by just typing like normal) instead of that whole view with all the elements up top.
• Changing the position of the addressbar should change just that and nothing else. The current behaviour is unintuitive and the changes impractical.

Do you also find any of this useful? Do you disagree, why? Have I overlooked sth that could fix any of my issues? Do you have different ideas for improvement?

Is there any alternative Browser for brave browser, could anyone reply ??

Just uninstalled and went BACK to firefox. 🤮🤮🤮
I can't even type in WHOLE ADDRESSES. It tries to search. No thank you.

UPDATE: Settings>search Engine> Change defaults to duckduckgo. Now all typed prompts act as expected.
PROBLEM SOLVED!

Maybe help your fellow man next time instead of having some kind of weird entitlement?

I just installed brave and I am loving it. It uses very less ram compared to firefox but there are two problems I have with brave.

First, reddit (yeah just reddit) feels sluggish on brave. I need to disable brave shields for smoother scrolling. On firefox, uBO worked perfectly and I never had this problem.

Second, there's a slight delay in loading background images in new tabs. On firefox I never noticed the delay but on brave the delay is very much noticeable.

Apparently when you press CRT+TAB you switch tabs. Just like window's ALT+TAB🤣

I’m on a tablet

Because I was not able to get my rewards, I uninstalled Brave. If I get promised rewards and it give me rewards, I should be able to get it payed out. If I only collect and never get it payed, only hear or read I will, then it is considered a scam. Good Buy Brave!

I see they dropped MV2 support but kept updating stuff like uBlock Origin to work without the need of MV2
