Brave seems to cooperate better than my (main Android) browser (which I also love) better when I click on links from apps. For example, if I try to click on a friend's game link, that browser wants me to "Download App" (or Update, when I'm not ready for the changes just yet) before it actually opens the app & qualifies the click towards the friend's game. Brave doesn't usually do that. It pretty much takes me directly to the app & gives them credit for my click. Definitely a time-saver! 💘

A very reliable browser, I use it as my primary browser instead of Chrome. It's just better than Chrome in every way. Just the Mobile version needs a little bit optimised, for instance, I watch YouTube on Brave, it works normally until I turn to landscape mode, it misaligns the video on the screen. When I listen to music on YouTube Music it doesn't automatically switch to the next track, I'll have to do it manually. Just a little minor issues other than that it's a really good application.

I'm quite pleased with braves performance, and privacy in overall use as a browser. some of the colors chosen by the program are not all that visible against the backgrounds chosen. I strongly prefer using dark with white or lighter text. however, I assume these colors are changeable, although I haven't tried yet to change colors- for example, dark red against purple is not a good color combination forever my eyesight. more later as I become more accustomed to using brave.
