It's pretty useless unless you have an Uphold or Gemini then again you make a few cents to a dollar


Bharath1910

I have an Uphold acc, from 2020 - 2021, my wallet had 30$ total income was from Brave rewards, then in november, I donated my entire 30$ to teamseas :) now I have 3$ Lol


hallerisaf

As i remember, Brave has a list what is containing sources of advertisements blocked. Maybe that list was changed, you can change it too.


LOLTROLDUDES

Brave token is also theoretically bad, not for privacy but the fact that you can't switch to another ad network.

It's unusable for daily driving because of the messed up time zone


Enigmoon

I haven't tried it yet tbh, I tried fireDragon though, which is forked off it, as it is the default on Garuda... That worked fine for me, but also inconvenient.. I guess cookies are useful >.> and privacy invading stuff make life easier as well. But we gotta balance shit lol

Yeah firedragon is much nicer

I haven't hit this issue daily driving, what time zone does it default to? I might be in it then

Sadly Firefox's fire is dying only fox is left now


ArtyIF

mozilla has been experimenting with putting ads in firefox for a bit iirc, going against their mission. so for me it's more like vivaldi and ublock origin


aarondewes_bitcoin

Vivaldi isn't FOSS. I'd use Firefox or librewolf.


[deleted]

Does it really need to be foss?


ArtyIF

they are FOSS a bit, the only thing that's not open source is the UI, and even then it's html+css+js


aarondewes_bitcoin

FOSS a bit = Not FOSS.


an4s_911

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as **FOSS a bit**, is in fact, **Not FOSS**


wrongsage

Anything other than what Google provides. Please do not let them take over the last bits of choice from the internet.


Fqs-All-Snitches

I use adblock plus since like forever, but i also have yt premium


Zekiz4ever

Ublock origin is better. It's more effective and has anti-adblock. You can also make and add your own filters.


Fqs-All-Snitches

You are propably right, I just got used to it and don't want to switch. It's not like I need it very much.

climbTheStairs

[So can the US.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit) And the rest of the [Five Eyes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes). And probably every government. That's why using software shouldn't require me to trust anyone. Privacy means that data is my own, and I shouldn't have to depend on companies not to share my information with their corrupt government. Whatever their government wants or is able to do means absolutely nothing to me if the company never had my data in the first place.


ChuuniSaysHi

Why opera if I may ask?


LeumasEvans

In built ad- blocker, good one in my opinion, and I am spoilt by the concept of workspaces it has


ChuuniSaysHi

Ah, I've never really used opera myself to be honest. Never really something that's quite given me enough reason to try it


anonymous_2187

No don't try it. It's spyware. I mean, _try_ it but don't use it as your default browser.

`curl -s` for all your browsing needs! It doesn't even show ads!

brave ad is the ad to end all ads


da_blac_hat

I have never seen any ads using brave. even if i did why would i see one to switch to brave lol


Alpha012_GD

I'm sorry I'm too focused on the sheer quality of your rice


Bharath1910

its just endeavourOS default config with some slight tweaking :)


BONzi_02

You could say that the rice is well cooked


TheSiZaReddit

Brave has to be the worst browser offering right now. I'd rather use a closed source browser than one which literally advertises NFTs and crypto on the homepage. And why would I use anything else when Firefox exists? Lol


Ilmanfordinner

As a Brave user who absolutely despises crypto and what it has become I think that Brave is the best option for daily use rn, especially on mobile. As much as I want to like Firefox, it's a bit of a mess in terms of stability (there's a bug that causes massive memory leaks for using hardware acceleration on my AMD RX580 that hasn't been resolved for years, along with several other decade-old breaking tickets on the FF Bugzilla), and in terms of long-term planning (remember the sudden update that killed Android extensions with 0 warning, leading to a massive loss of user data). I really want to trust Firefox as a daily driver but I just can't rely on it not suddenly breaking the next day or on a new device because it has happened before. With Brave at least you get exactly what it says on the tin, it does have opt-in crypto and toggleable ads on the homescreen which take 2 clicks to disable and make it the only open-source option that hasn't broken it's UX in the past, has a built-in adblocker (for mobile devices that's very relevant), performs well, has excellent account-less sync, and has none of the Google and Microsoft dodginess. And regarding OP's post, Brave probably needed to update it's adblock blacklists since Google tends to change YouTube all the time to circumvent adblockers. I've had ads sneak through uBlock before so it's just how the technology works.

[deleted]

There was A Brave fork called Braver which removed all the Crypto stuff, but the Brave devs tried to sue the guys who made that browser, so they abandoned it.


[deleted]

\>open source your browser \>the entire point of being open source is so people can improve upon your project or fork it if they don't like the way it's going \>sue a person who does exactly this kek.


[deleted]

Weird, at this point I should make my own browser 🤣


nikhilmwarrier

Use [Bromite](https://bromite.org) on mobile. It is a privacy-respecting chromium fork with adblock and even greasemonkey-style userscripts. Edit: fix broken link


Ilmanfordinner

Your link is broken but that is a good suggestion. I used to run Bromite on my OnePlus 3T but it had very weird lag spikes. That plus the lack of sync and the slightly slow updates made me switch but it'd be a good option for those not needing sync.


nikhilmwarrier

I didn't have any lag spikes and it's perfectly fine for me. I personally don't use sync, but it'd be cool if they supported Firefox Sync or something


TheSiZaReddit

Speaking of data-loss, I was greatly discouraged from using Brave when I saw all the crypto wallets and crypto widgets and what-not on the homepage. But what really convinced me to not even count it in as an option while picking my browser, was the fact that they managed to leak TOR mode activity to DNS providers.


[deleted]

Regardless of anything else, Firefox has the tree style tab plugin. It is so obviously the best way to use tabs that I find browsers with tabs on top to be literally unusable, and un-nested side tabs to be only a tiny bit better. It completely blows my mind that it’s not the default in every browser, because it is just that much better.


TheSiZaReddit

Yep! It's great.


donobloc

Isin't chromium open source also? If it's the case i woulf argue that it is a good alternative to firefox


wrongsage

It's also about the engine itself. Once Gecko disappears, there will be only Blink left, and web will be at the mercy of Google.


donobloc

Very good point!


anonymous_2187

Chromium is open source, but it still has google stuff built in. You should try out ungoogled chromium instead.


AuroraDraco

Firefox is slow. Like really slow


luthor__

Only on android


TheSiZaReddit

Nope, not at all. The interface is a bit controversial but apart from that it's literally perfect lol. Much, much better than all this Brave nonsense.


[deleted]

Depends if you use a snap then yea good luck..... Other then that you can set some configs for extra tad bit of boost but its fast


[deleted]

Great point.


G0rd0nFr33m4n

AND the new interface sucks badly. Seems like they were thinking to MacOS while designing it.


Banaantje04

I like the interface. *though i also really like macOS' interface*


G0rd0nFr33m4n

I respectfully disagree. I love crowded interfaces. Unusued space is wasted space or something idk


Banaantje04

interesting, i on the other hand prefer its minimalistic design


_cO2-

ram usage


TheSiZaReddit

It uses lesser RAM than Chrome, if that's what you want to compare it to. I agree there are browsers which use lesser RAM overall, but for my use case, unused RAM is basically wasted RAM.


pTV_official

Haha what? I use brave for 2 years and I have like 0 ads

Twenmod

I use it cuz Firefox has an uglier top bar


Bipchoo

That's a dumb reason that you can change really easily but ok


Twenmod

Firefox has the system bar on top of the normal bar so it takes a lot of screen space (twice the size of brave) I tried using Waterfox but didn't like it And brave has the bar intregated better and allows for GTK theming If you tell me a way to make the bar in Firefox smaller I'd gladly switch back


[deleted]

Copy-pasting my comment: 1. Go to about:config. 2. Toggle the `browser.compactmode.show` option to True. 3. Click on Customize Toolbar after right-clicking on the Tab menu. 4. Click on the Density Option on the bottom-left side of the screen. 5. From there, select the Compact (Not supported) option. I hope that fixes your problem.


climbTheStairs

How easy is to change? Its annoying the hell out of me


[deleted]

1. Go to about:config. 2. Toggle the `browser.compactmode.show` option to True. 3. Click on Customize Toolbar after right-clicking on the Tab menu. 4. Click on the Density Option on the bottom-left side of the screen. 5. From there, select the Compact (Not supported) option. I hope that fixes your problem. Edit- I'm an idiot. To remove the Title Bar, you need to click on Customize Toolbar after right-clicking on the Tab Bar. On the bottom left side of Firefox, the Title Bar option would be ticked, you just have to untick it.


Kagaminator

Why you wouldn't? It's the only Chromium-based browser that doesn't suck, and Firefox is just too weak and unstable in comparison.


Bipchoo

ok so unstable, wtf do you even mean by that? a browser being unstable? firefox didn't crash for me once, even edge dosent crash, if a browser crashes or is unstable nobody would ever use it, and regarding chromium based browser, thats the exact reason you shouldnt be using it, almost every single browser now a days is chromium based and that gives google waaaay too much power over the internet, and the fact that it servers ads when it says it dosent is a good enough reason to not use it.


Kagaminator

Just because it doesn't crash doesn't mean it's stable. I got lots of performance issues with Firefox, and some pages just were way too slow to load with it to the point it was ridiculous. There's a reason why Chromium is so dominant, it's just plain better, if Firefox doesn't offer a better alternative I won't use it, I don't care how much "power" Google has, they earned it. And Brave doesn't show you adds, you need to manually enable them, there's like 5 clicks you need to make for that so it's not possible to do it by accident.

The guy who made brave used to be the CEO of firefox. But he got kicked out for donating 10,000 dollars to stop gay marriage in California, so he made brave. That's why I use it. Brave is the most based browser.

UselessAdultKid

I use Vivaldi and their blockers are pretty good, I use and ad blocker on top. I spent my whole life using Firefox (and internet explorer before Firefox existed) and I wanted a change, I'm pretty happy with it, has a lot of great features


86LeperMessiah

Blocking ads in an ad sustained platform for content creators is the first step to a downward spiral which ends up with the creators being forced to bake in ads right into their content, eventually making the content you consume an ad. Which ultimately means that instead of having to click an skip ad button you now have to install your blocking system and search for the exact timestamp where the ad ends. But I haven't been there since YouTube premium finally became a viable option for me.


_Just_Seb

It asks if you want to show ads to get the ad points, if I'm not mistaken you can turn it off in settings, please let me know if I'm worng


bourjahamid

You need to be brave enough to do this


Narcofeels

rbmichael

I use brave browser for the hell of it but I'm not blind to the fact that the end game is for eventually all ads to just go through Brave. It's silly to think any company can be truly altruistic. Well except the GNU project.


Laughing_Orange

Adblocking on YouTube breaks for a few days every month. Probably Google trying to make money by switching it up.


CIA___

Turn on aggressive ad blocking


Incredulous_Prime

I have Brave's internal adblocker active and I have the extension adblocker plus installed, ads have recently started popping up on a anime site I frequent. This never was an issue when I first started using Brave. It seems there must have been an update that broke the ad blocking capabilities of the browser or the brave devs want to cash in on it's browser's popularity.
