Brave works with all the same extensions and themes as Chrome. Brave is based on the same open-source Chromium code as a number of other browsers, so your favorite extensions just work with Brave. We don't host our own extensions store though, so for now the best place to find extensions is the Chrome Web Store. Extensions are powerful ways.
Let's take a closer look at this much-hyped private web browser.
What is Brave Browser?
Brave was first launched in early 2016 and almost immediately began to generate press, controversy, and a growing following. But what is Brave browser?
The company was founded by former Mozilla co-founder and creator of JavaScript, Brendan Eich, along with a partner, Brian Bondy. What makes the Brave browser unique is its approach to privacy, online advertising, and data tracking.
We've summed up Brave's features in a quick and easy list of pros and cons.
Advantages of Brave Browser
Google's Chrome web browser can no longer be trusted.
Although that's one big reason for the shift to Brave, it also has a number of great features. Here's how Brave excels and why it is catching on so quickly.
Better Privacy and Less Tracking
One of our favorite things about Brave is its native privacy protection. The browser uses HTTPS secure connections wherever possible, doesn't collect or sell your data, and automatically blocks ad trackers. And Brave has now introduced private browsing tabs powered by the Tor network.

Built-in Ad Blocking
Brave also has integrated ad blocking. Though most browsers have extensions to do this, it's a core feature of Brave.
Though they do have some interesting plans for replacing ads, as we'll get to below.
All About Brave Browser
Faster and More Efficient Browsing
The combination of ad and ad tracker blocking allows Brave to deliver impressive speeds and use less data resources.
Tests show Brave loads pages roughly twice as fast as Chrome and Firefox on PC/Mac, and a whopping 8x times as fast on mobile, compared to Chrome and Safari.
Open Source Software
Brave's desktop software is built on Chromium, the backbone that's also used for Chrome. The important thing here is that Brave is open source Unreal tournament 2018. , which is better for privacy and security.
Brave Payments
Many sites rely on ads for income and to keep their site running. So, Brave has implemented a payment system which allows you to pay the sites you like or visit most with mostly-anonymous cryptocurrency transactions based on a monthly budget set by you.
They're also experimenting with a system that would include non-targeted ads and reward you for watching them, which you could then pay out to your favorite sites.
Disadvantages of Brave Browser
Here's where Brave could use some improvement.
Lack of Extensions and Add-Ons
All About Bravery
Probably the biggest downside to Brave is its current lack of extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins.
While browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc. seem to have extensions for almost everything under the sun, Brave's library is basically limited to password managers, like Dashlane and LastPass, and a handful of other extensions.
Some Features Still in Beta
Brave is still a work in progress, with features like ad replacement and the Tor private browsing tabs still in 'beta' (which means they're not finished).
Doesn't Always Work Well with Every Site
There have been occasions where we had trouble using Brave for a site that worked fine in, say, Firefox. But this tends to happen with all browsers, from time to time.
Should You Switch to Brave Browser?
Now that you know what Brave browser is all about, the question is, should you ditch Chrome, Firefox, etc. and switch to Brave?
Call playstation customer service uk. In short, if you're the kind of person who doesn't like messing with a lot of extensions and settings, but you still want a browser that provides fast speeds, blocks ads, and gives better built-in privacy, Brave is a great option.
However, tech-savvy users can replicate much of Brave's privacy and ad-blocking features using Firefox extensions, and from there, Firefox is currently a more fully-realized browser with a huge library of add-ons, themes, and other features. And the full Tor browser is more private than Brave's Tor functionality.

If you had the chance to find out more about the making of a gorgeous Pixar film, wouldja? Ever since Brave came out in 2012, we've been fantasizing about letting our hair flow in the wind as we ride through the glen, firing arrows into the sunset. The Will O' the Wisps have yet to lead us back in time to DunBroch so we can frolic through the fields with Merida and the triplets (it's a work in progress), but at least for now we can enjoy some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories. Change your fate with this awesome Brave trivia:
1. Brave's filmmakers wanted to change the Cinderella Castle logo that shows at the beginning of every Disney movie into Castle DunBroch. They also considered adding a bagpipe to the Pixar logo!
2. Animators had to personally learn the choreography for the film's fight scenes. They practiced with each other until they became experts in how people move during fights. (Thankfully, there are pictures.)
3. During the film's production, Director Mark Andrews and Producer Katherine Sarafian would prepare for big meetings by taking turns pretending to be each other's audience. This became the inspiration for the epic scene where Fergus pretends to be Merida while Queen Elinor practices her lecture.
4. Filmmakers decided to show Merida mucking Angus' stall herself, rather than having a stable hand do it for her, because they wanted to challenge audiences' expectations of what a 'princess' should be. Merida definitely defies stereotypes, and we love her for it.
5. MacGuffin's seemingly incomprehensible muttering is actually an authentic Scottish dialect called Doric. The voice actor was given his lines in plain English, and called his mother before recording so she could help translate them into Doric. Brave proves over and over that moms are the best.
6. Instead of an archery contest to win Merida's hand, the script originally called for a haggis-tossing competition. We're glad the writers changed it, because 'I'll be tossing haggis for my own hand' doesn't have quite the same ring.
7. In the scene depicting Merida and Elinor's big fight, Emma Thompson (who voiced Elinor) shocked the directors by working herself into an intense motherly rage. She even ad-libbed the spine-tingling line, 'There'll be fire and sword if it's not set right.'
8. The movie originally depicted Elinor's transformation into a bear on-screen. The directors scrapped that shot because when Elinor started sprouting hair, they feared audiences might think she was turning into Fergus (and what a different movie that would be).
Braves All Time Stats
9. Merida is five feet four inches tall, and Bear-Elinor is nine feet tall when standing. Their height difference created such a challenge for animators that sometimes they sunk Elinor into the floor a bit in order to fit both characters in the same shot. We suppose that's just one of many hazards of turning into a bear.
10. The script originally called for the triplets to distract Fergus by projecting a shadow on the wall using a bear puppet. The writers changed the puppet to a chicken on a stick because they thought it was funnier (we agree).
11. Directors almost cut the touching flashback scene of Elinor and Young Merida singing a lullaby, due to the difficulty of animating Merida as a toddler. They eventually succeeded by scaling down the animation of teenage Merida and then making her features more youthful, resulting in the adorable little lass we all know and love.
12. Early versions of Brave called for most of the movie to take place in the snow, due to the witch's spell affecting the whole land of DunBroch. Filmmakers scrapped this idea in order to show the colors of the beautiful Scottish landscape. (Pro-tip: You can spot some of the deleted snowy shots in the film's trailer!)
13. Filmmakers recorded children whispering to create the distinct sound of the Will O' the Wisps. They wanted something that sounded both cute and mysterious (nailed it).
14. The script originally called for Queen Elinor to turn back and forth from a human to a bear during her fight with Mor'du. Human or not, Elinor is the definition of fierce Mama Bear.
15. When Mor'du dies, his soul becomes a Will O' the Wisp. The directors thought he should redeem himself by leading others towards their fate and away from the evil that consumed him during his lifetime.
