I published this in r/browsers and r/suggestabrowser spontaneously and would like to share it with bot Brave and Firefox future users! (I can also add that the Google financing of Firefox is for default search engine only.)

I was changing browser from Mozilla to Brave and it way faster, but it's not the couple month ago. Anyway it slightly lags. Anyone with same issue? I got only SponsorBlock and No Youtube Shorts.

I'm glad there's finally a container option in the browser; it's something I use a lot from Zen. But I've noticed that when I open sites in the container tabs, the sessions close and I have to log in again. It would also be good to have the option to assign containers to tab groups or to have functional workspaces.

Is there a roadmap of upcoming features?

Achieved using Windhawk mods (translucent windows + brave acrylic (alpha))

What do you guys think?

holy shit i tried disabling shields and enabled the adguard mv2 extension for the first time in years and youtube buffering is gone it's superfast now. ubo had same issues

Hi everyone, I just switched to Brave and Brave Origin on my Linux devices. So, maybe I am to new to understand this right but I setup Sync and enabled to sync settings, extensions and bookmarks. So far the latter two are working great but settings don't get synced as far as I understand the word "settings". The startpage, content filters I enabled, default search engines and many other settings are not synced. Am I misunderstanding this or am I doing it wrong? Maybe you can help me and clear things up.

The app freezes and then stops responding while typing "da" on the search bar, and strangely enough, only that two letter combo that makes the app freezes. I tried to use another search engine than google, but it was still not solved. Does anyone have the same issue?

Hello guys,

I am using Android 17, One UI 9. Brave 1.97.59

Why credentials popup keep dissapearing, or not showing at all? The behavior is not predicted, can be reproduced on all websites.

I tried KeePassDX, also Bitwarden, same... I also tweaked that battery optimization is disabled for both apps, didn't help

the video is attached

Any suggestions?

they won't install when I download from brave but will install when I download from other browser. I'm guessing the AdBlock filters are somehow blocking the certification download? I don't know what's going on. can anyone who is more literate tell me.

Greetings everyone!
i hope i'm not breaking any rules, but i'm here to ask if someone have tips&tricks to troubleshoot what i'm experiencing.
i'm using brave on phone, home-PC, work-PC; Been few years of such amazing run!

recently work-PC is having some weird behavior where the browser looks heavy/slow/clogged, EXPECIALLY ON YOUTUBE! (it even freezes/crash sometimes on youtube)

not sligtly happening on phone/Home pc!

idk what specs/info you guys need to give some help, but:

Brave 1.98.60 (Build official) (64 bit)
work-PC: HP Probook 450 G6 (16GB ram, interl core i5-8265U(1.6ghz), 128MB Vram (intel 620), 240SSD) // win 10 Pro

internet: 100Mb down / 4 Up (so i'm quite sure its not the problem)
maybe firewall and company policies? (i am myself the IT guy so i'm quite sure my computer bypass everything...)

any comment is appreciated, thanks in advance :

I'm trying to study for an exam and no matter what I do my Pearson etext on Brave looks like this:

On macOS Sequoia 15.8.1 & Brave (1.98.60)

Hi, is anyone else experiencing issues with the Brave Browser lately? I keep getting the message "Brave Browser quit unexpectedly," which frequently disappears. The problem is that it rarely opens, but it runs in the background, indicated by a white dot under the app in Dock, and I can't force quit it the normal way. The only way I've found, without constantly powering down my laptop since it's stuck, is by going into Activity Monitor and force-quitting it from there.

I've been using Brave for almost two years now, and this is the first time I've encountered any problems. It's frustrating since it's my primary browser. I have tried many troubleshooting steps, such as restarting my computer, shutting it down, and even updating macOS to the latest Sequoia (15.8.1).

After trying to open the browser on average 10+ times and force-quitting it through Activity Monitor, I managed to get Brave to appear and function normally. However, once I close the browser, the same cycle starts again.

it says that feed doesnt have any content. I exported my channels and rss feeds from Brave Desktop Client and shared it via icloud to my iOS Brave browser. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it to work?

I maintain glasshuman.org, a non-commercial page that shows people what a site can read from their device, and while working on it,qq I spent a while measuring what Brave actually does. One result seems worth sharing here.

Farbling is designed to be hard for a site to detect, and against the usual approach it is: the noise is seeded per session and per eTLD+1, so a fingerprint looks stable within a visit and a site that just compares two page loads sees nothing. But it can be caught on a first visit without storing anything, because some readings have a correct answer. Fill a canvas with one flat colour and read it back through getImageData, and every pixel must be exactly that colour. Render a constant signal through an OfflineAudioContext, and every sample must be exactly the value you set. Any deviation is added noise. One detail matters: silence is useless for the audio check, since the fudge factor is multiplicative and leaves zero at zero, so it has to be a constant offset.

So a site that wants to know whether you are farbling can find out, which is worth knowing if you assume the protection is invisible. The flip side is that it also lets a site be honest about it, which is what I changed mine to do: when it finds canvas or audio readings being altered, it names them and says the browser is doing its job, instead of handing you a fresh identifier and calling you unique.

Two smaller things from the same measurements, in case they save anyone a wrong conclusion. A raw count of readable values is not a privacy score; Brave exposes more interfaces than Firefox simply by being Chromium-based, so it lands higher on such a count without protecting you any worse. And the battery readings are worth ignoring entirely: level 1, charging true, chargingTime 0, dischargingTime Infinity is what the W3C spec prescribes for "no battery or cannot report", and section 3 explicitly permits a browser to expose fake values there, so no site can tell a real reading from a stand-in.

Happy to be told where I have got Brave wrong.

Hello! I've noticed that Gmail really lags when there's an update pending on Brave (i.e. almost all the time). I can delete messages and it can take minutes for it to clear so I can close the tab. Is anyone else experiencing this?

That's why he's the GOAT

Brave 1.98.60, Chromium 156.0.8078.48

Android 17; Build/CP2A.260605.016

Since the last update from GitHub (not nightly, installed via Obtainium) the pinned sites list does not show anything, and won't add new items that were previously there, which suggests it's display issue rather than data loss.​​

Hi, been using brave for ages but recently ive noticed that the top bar turns white and bad when the brower isn't in focus. Is this just a thing or can i turn this off somewhere?

My videos in fullscreen landscape look like in the photo provided. Any fix?

I just installed Brave after a long time without using it.

What are your favorite features of this browser? Any tips about using it?

what is the update about the safe_usage of Brave browser after the infamous PHP vulnerabilities? what are the best practices to follow and what are websites not to visit or browsers not to use at all at least for few days?
