REAL PROBLEM WITH THIS BROWSER, UNABLE TO USE BANKING AND OTHER SERVICES. SHAME.

Looking at the reviews one might think this browser was safe and effective but like most shiny things nowadays Brave has a very DARK side. I went to a lot of trouble reading all the glowing reviews of this not realizing that they were mostly full of lies and here is why. Brave installer both supposed offline installer and online one won't actually install a browser before first installing a number of background applications that constantly try to go online and exchange data in the background. Supposedly this is to update the program they have not even installed. That's suspicious on its own. If you download the latest version of an offline installer it should just install the program as advertised not spy on your computer. The installer also fills your registry with seemingly hundreds of entry's designed to at will exchange data in the background. I have just spent a valuable hour of my time cleaning up the mess of seemingly spyware that the so called brave offline installed spewed all over my computer. Best advice I can offer to any other possible victims of BRAVE is to take all the positive reviews out there as having a big MINUS Sign in front of the Star Rating.

Tanta fatica e poi molto furbamente di default si attivano il Auto-Contribute e i soldi in automatico vanno sul loro conto. Se fosse in buona fede almeno una conferma del versamento.....

Brave VPN ist Müll. 10 Euro für einen nicht funktionierenden VPN.

Very disappointing and not recommended. Very unprofessional company. I purchased VPN and it does not pair with the account. Only after extreme urging and long time the support answered and then again constantly for days not. The problem is still not solved and there is not even compensation, coupon for the time or something. Although the time was paid, it does not work and the advertised service is not there either. Better to go back to Firefox then. Brave does not deserve it then! Addendum. Brave has now contacted me and told me by email that it is not their problem and that I will not get the multiple payment back. So Brave continues to scam users, and privacy does not count for this company. The character of Brandon Eich permeates through Brave!

I decided to try out brave after hearing so many people talk positively about it. That was the absolute worst decision I could've made, specifically after having just finished installing and setting up a fresh Windows 11 install... The first thing that annoyed me about it is when you open the Settings for the first time you are greeted with crypto wallets and stuff that really shouldn't be part of a browser... When I first installed brave there was no WireGuard VPN service bundled with it, that service was silently installed later by the browser's background update service. I was shocked to see a random icon popping up in my system tray after a reboot, and it was called "Brave VPN". There was now a new entry in the Startup Apps inside the Task Manager called "Brave_vpn_wireguard_service", and there are also 2 new entries in the Windows Services. If you go to brave_browser's github page and check issue #33726, they are blaming the users for having granted admin rights to the installer when prompted by UAC which I never got the prompt in the first place because I have UAC disabled, they are also blaming the users for having enabled the VPN service and claiming that the service would not be running on startup if it wasn't enabled by the user which I didn't because it wasn't there in the first placed when I installed the browser... And when I uninstalled the browser it still left behind all the bloatware that it silently installed on my system, the entry in the Startup Apps in the Task Manager is still there, the "Brave Vpn Wireguard Service" is still there in the Windows Services, it left behind an ungodly amount of registry entries and folders. DO NOT TRY THIS BROWSER BECAUSE OF THE HYPE. If you are concerned about privacy, do yourself a favor and please do not use this browser Try Mozilla Firefox instead.

Decent browser, just anoying that it logs me out everytime, has popups and dosnt allow me to watch youtube because its blocking ads, would just stick to chrome no issue with chrome.

Full of scam . I have never been scammer before but once i started using this browser suddenly my credit card got scammed . Lucky me the bank managed to suspend my card quickly and send me a notification
