On mobile it is really good because of the builtin adblocker + chromium engine makes it very fast. It also has background play on Youtube.
On desktop it is less useful. But probably still better privacy vise than Edge or Chrome.
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agoYou use brave on mobile for background playing YouTube? If you are on android, do you know newpipe exists? Or for vanilla youtuber users, there is vanced. About mobile adblocking, doesn't Firefox android have ubo and a few more addons?
- rejectfinite 5y agoYes I also use Youtube Vanced :) Firefox on android is noticeably slower for me than chromium based browsers.
- soundnote 5y agoIt's definitely better privacy wise than Edge. Edge is really good, but sadly uses hardware based browser IDs and doesn't offer end to end encryption for all categories of synced data, and their start page is very chatty. Plus I think they default to having search suggestions on and sending the strokes to Bing. Brave's browser ID is more ephemeral, it's not hardware based and doesn't persist across restarts, search suggestions are off by default and the default engine is DDG/Brave, and their sync service is end to end encrypted. Edge is a good product, but not if you like wearing tinfoil hats. If privacy is no object, Edge is probably the best.
