Brave-browser Alternatives

Reviews and mentions

• Brave should honestly improve sync with a Brave account.

  I agree with you on the slowness of the sync though. It definitely seems less real time than Chrome's sync, especially when syncing to mobile. I filed this bug https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/11714 for the sync slowness on Android, but unfortunately the devs are taking a really long time to fix it.

• rate my desktop

  Between their probable crypto scam, telemetry and other controversies, it reeks of shady.

• Firefox to have ads in address bar suggestions

  Second, if you choose to opt into Brave ads, they do not rely on collecting your personally-identifying information to serve you the most persuasive ads. Instead, calculation is done like this, this, and this. For more read this.

• Any Appimages for linux?
  reddit.com/r/brave_browser | 2021-10-06

  Brave doesn't officially provide any AppImages. There is a issue on GitHub tracking this, but it's definitely not their top priority right now. You can use pkg2appimage to produce an AppImage of Brave or use existing ones available on this GitHub repository. Keep in mind that these are unofficial sources that I don't recommend to use, but if you really want to, at your own risk.

• Since when is Vivaldi sending X-Client-Data?
  reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser | 2021-10-05

  I seem to remember checking on this last year and Vivaldi wasnt sending X-Client-Data to Youtube. Today its there. Looking at Brave https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/8049 they got the same issue where it was fine last year, but popped up 12 months later and was finally manually patched (https://github.com/brave/brave-core/commit/01b93317828227977067e7409794c346e253f21d).
