Brave Browser

it's the next best browser. it just needs a few more feature updates and it will be good to go as your default. i already use it and it works better than any other browser minus a few missing features i need.

>>56678731
I concur

Stop shilling your Jewish botnet browser.

Is it a botnet though?

>>56678804
The alternative is fitecocks SJW browser or the botnet browser itself. If not this then what do you suggest limp dick?

>>56678706
Of course it's fast, it blocks ads and Javascript.

>>56678814
Literally blocks ads and tracking scripts by default
>Is it a botnet?
It would be against their mission. Guess not.

>>56678840
>blocks javascript
So it's also completely useless?

>>56678852
Blocks sites' ads and tracking scripts. That doesn't mean it itself doesn't send your data to whatever

>>56678854
You can block javascript on a per-site basis. It only blocks *tracking* scripts by default.

>>56678840
>>56678878
It doesn't block ads. It replaces the ads with their own ones.

These requests do not rely on third party software. We use a Node.js heroku server, which is based on Electron.

>>56678892
Um, no. You can OPT-IN to switch ads to their own.

If it has extensions equivalent to FF and Chrome it has a chance or else its just going to be SeaMonkey tier

>>56678978

Probably Safari :^)

>>56678978
Chromium.
>>56678979
It's getting extension support soon. Right now it supports password managers.

Anything less than GreaseMonkey equivalent is practically trivial

>>56679071
It'll support Chrome extensions

most jewy botnet browser out there, it doesnt block ads, it even comes preinstalled with its own ads to replace them

richard stallman recommends icecat instead

>>56679049
who gives a fuck about their server. I confirm what I said earlier.
Brave - THE BROWSER - is built with electron and so it's based on chromium and node.js

>>56678978
Chromium engine with an Electron front end. So basically a hybrid app.

>inb4 cancer
Firefox has done something similar with their front end since inception.

>>56679088

except it does

When will our browser get attention?

>>56679107
No one, but I bet that the one that is paying you has a big long nose.

Why the fuck is a browser involving itself with bitcoin payment system?

To support payments to web owners so they can't whine about losing revenue because of the ad-blocking.

i use it daily as a secondary browser. it pretty good and i give suggestions to them every now and then and they implement it a week later.

it has its quirks here and there and doesn't play DRM content like amazon prime video but it's solid.

it has the potential to be atleast as good as chrome but they need certain things figured out until then.. they probably have a huge list of what they want in their browser in the future

>>56679071
i already requested it and i'm probably not alone. it is in their pipeline for a few months now but only now got mentioned to find implementation very soonish, so yeah, we will get it


what i also requested is to merge the menu bar with the url and arrows like chrome does to lessen the bezel

I need a vertical style tab tree and some form of httpseverywhere, does this do that?

>>56679573
It's got HTTPS Everywhere out of the box.
The other... don't think they're gonna do that.

This is what I did:

Raw x64 binaries:

wget -O brave.tar.bz2 https://laptop-updates.brave.com/latest/linux64
tar xvjf brave.tar.bz2

then just ran it by going into the dir and typing ./brave

How are the plugins/extensions?

>>56680876
Supports Flash and only password managers atm. Will get better.

It's empty, except for the PDFjs viewer, if you don't install any password manager. He means that the "about:extensions" page is there, for future versions.

>>56681685
thank you for stating something that has been said various times in this thread already.

Brave is simply a dishonest attempt at managing ads by hijacking them. Brendan Eich has ruined his career by doing this, there are pending lawsuits to stop Brave.

I would be all over this, but chrome extensions like dark reader and tabs for a cause, plus the integration of google drive/docs and offline features make it really hard to leave.

>>56682842
It's faster than Firefox, Electron or not. Mozilla should be ashamed.

so you installed an extension into your browser to be bombarded with advertising from charities?

everything's faster than FF because FF is a piece of shit. that's not a good argument.

>that's not a good argument
neither is shitting on everything made with electron

>>56682950
it is because Electron is built with JS.

JS = total shit.

>>56682916
I actually just like the way it gives you more new tab customization than basically any other extension. Plus raising money is nice.

The only purpose for it to exist is REPLACING ads. Not blocking them. Other than that, it's just a Chrome clone. It's shit.

It's completely FOSS, just like Firefox, you fucking morons.
- 100% licensed under MPL (a GPL compatible license)
- you can compile it yourselves
- source: https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop

If you find any "botnet" in the code, then raise an issue and people will make a big fuss over it. Until then you're just lying and going off of little to no evidence.

how can it be a chrome clone if its written from scratch? and how can it not "Be for blocking ads" if the option is right in the bravery menu?

>>56683719
Wow. Are you really this stupid?
>written from scratch
See >>56679363

And in >>56683326 I provided you a screenshot directly from their homepage that proofs that their main purpose is replacing ads, not blocking them.

Tried it when it first appeared, it's fast for sure but limited. Tried it later on with successive versions and it's still fast but limited. Tried the latest version and yes it's still fast but limited.

And by limited I mean I can't fucking customize it like I can customize Firefox so, into the trash it goes.

>brave-ios
>brave-android

Very telling. Almost feel like trashing it over this.

>>56683719

It's based on Chromium, the open source aspects of Chrome (that's two different browsers in case you're not fucking paying attention which you apparently aren't).

>and how can it not "Be for blocking ads" if the option is right in the bravery menu?
It has the same problem as ABP: A conflict of interest. It wants to show me ads. It just wants to show me ads that it selects by its criteria, instead of whatever ads happen to be on the page.

If Brave was a browser with a baked-in ad blocker that blocks everything all the time and had no provision for collecting payments from me or showing me any ads, then I'd be behind it 100%. The interests of users' security and privacy and the interests of advertisers are diametrically opposed. You're on one side or the other. You can't split the difference. Brave is on the side of advertising.
