Brave browser is enough to beat Chrome

For those who learn about web programming, they will find that JavaScript is one of the most powerful languages ​​in this area. Brendan Eich is the father of this language and he also has experience with FireFox, so when Brave launches, the world is looking forward to a breakthrough of this browser. So really Brave is worth considering when Chrome is now increasingly heavier with low-profile models.

Brave already supports both Android and iOS mobile phones, but it really doesn't stand out. So in this article I will evaluate when using Brave on a computer.

Brave Browser Advantages

One of Brave's first changes to FireFox is that it now uses the Chromium kernel for the best support and is similar to Chrome, making it easier to reach users. Using the Chromium kernel also makes Brave easy to sync with Chrome or other browsers that share this open source.

Brave also has a built-in ad blocking tool called Brave Shields that helps speed up the loading of web pages and also prevents tracking from users from many malicious websites. Brave Shields also statistics the number of ads and blocked links along with the time saved from the things that this browser blocks right on the new tab interface.

Referring to the new tab, in this interface every refresh you will see a completely new and very quality wallpaper here. All of them are landscape-style to help us relax to use and not feel too entangled with the messy middle-of-page bookmarks like Chrome.

In terms of usage speed, Brave is sometimes faster than Chrome, but sometimes slower. The reason that many websites load slower is because Brave Shields itself blocks ads and sometimes they can't load.

If you were using Chrome in the past, all of your history and personal bookmarks will be able to sync perfectly through Brave.

Brave also has Brave Rewards system that helps you make money directly from this website. The way this system works is to link with websites to help users accept to view ads or not because Brave will block all these ads by default. When the user accepts the view, the system will add points to your wallet and you can convert them into cash at a certain level.

Disadvantages of Brave Browser

The first downside is that Brave has only been released, so there are still many annoying bugs during use. The number of users using this browser is not much, so there is not too much feedback for the developer to quickly improve. For example, when you search on the link bar, Brave still supports the Google search engine, but does not show suggestions for the items you need to search for.

Brave does not support account login to sync, when you use Brave on computers as well as phones, you will have to open its own sync tool and scan the code on the phone to synchronize. This process is quite laborious instead of just logging into your Google account on Chrome.

Brave Rewards system has very few websites to support it, so it is almost impossible to make money just by surfing the web. During more than a week of this browser experience, I could not find any website that could show me the ad and get accumulated points.

summary 

Although Brave has just been released not long ago, when compared directly to Chrome, the browser still has certain advantages. Small bugs at present can be completed in the future. Personally, I think Brave should add a login feature to sync data for more convenience, even if you have to use this browser's own account instead of using a Gmail account like other browsers using Chromium.

To say that Brave can immediately compete with Chrome is difficult because Chrome has a separate app store that no other browser has. And the most important thing is users, this browser needs more users to be able to consolidate and complete more like Chrome does.
