Yay!, yet another "free" browser from China.

@mikedt, really? I had no idea Brave Browser had any ties to China....
Now I'm thinking I'll stick with Chrome....

Yeah, that's what I read also.
Based out of California....
So far I'm not seeing any ties to China on it.

I first throught this was some kind of advertisement.

Yes, Brave has been very secure for me. I use an app to help block trackers and Brave never triggers it.

I had Brave some time ago on my PC, it was just terrible vs. Nightly firefox, but nightly firefox on the p.c. it is so much work that you can put into it, it is like a "Created your own gizmo, and we will conceal all the base operations, not out of the box friendly."

I don't mind Brave at all and use it exclusively on my phone and laptop - plus I earn BAT from the limited ads, which I exchange for cryptocurrency (but just a little bit). For my desktop I prefer Dissenter browser, which is based on Brave but has even more privacy features.
