Yep. It's got all you could want from Firefox -- Mozilla free. (+more)

  Except it's just another blink repackage. I think the really important thing is web standards, which means supporting gecko or webkit.

It also has some obnoxious cryptocurrency ads...

  Ads are turned off by default with Brave. If you do not want ads then don't turn them on.

And then use software what for a web browser? Brave hasn't been a web browser for some time now.

  What on earth do you mean? I'm literally browsing the web with it right now.

It’s a cryptoscam though.
- CodeGlitch 5y ago
  I honestly believe crypto has a future, but what it looks like I do not know. We're currently in the crypto-bubble, which much like the early web, is full of money grabbers and idiots. I use Brave as my daily driver, and to hear that it's "cryptoscam" just doesn't align with my experience. You can totally turn off or ignore the crypto stuff if you want. Unlike the majority of the web today which is full of so much tracking, intrusions and scams it seems strange to pass off Brave for offering something different to that.

    You can ignore the scam part of the browser if you want but please don’t recommend it to others, or at least tell them you are recommending something that is a scam and that they should know the risks.

  I don't know if Brave itself is a cryptoscam. A lot of crypto are blatant scams, true, and another huge chunk are interesting purely as a way to speculate financially. I don't think the BAT tipping ecosystem fits that pattern: Brave is a normal ad agency that sells adspace for normal money. Second, the BAT they give to users isn't new mints by Brave, it's bought from the open market with a cut from Brave's normal money ad revenue. This means there's always a buyer for the coin, and the sums offered are linked to the normal economy. Means the creators who get tipped BAT can reliably cash it out.

Vivaldi is also a good alternative, without the cryptocurrency stuff some people complain about. They don't have an iOS app though (Brave does).

  Vivaldi is proprietary though.
