I'm quite pleased with braves performance, and privacy in overall use as a browser. some of the colors chosen by the program are not all that visible against the backgrounds chosen. I strongly prefer using dark with white or lighter text. however, I assume these colors are changeable, although I haven't tried yet to change colors- for example, dark red against purple is not a good color combination forever my eyesight. more later as I become more accustomed to using brave.

UPDATE: Extremely disappointed that they removed the 3x1 Search Widget! Bring it back please! I used it numerous times per day!!! A 1x1 would be even better, just to open a new search tab. The anti-Google browser with all the goodness of chromium and none of the tracking Spyware. Adds other security features to protect your info and browsing history from being tracked and sold! 🎉

I used to really like brave, but with recent updates as usual they decide to ruin everything by changing little things that don't need to be fixed. they are usually minor things that they could easily leave up to the user if they like it, but it's really annoying to open an app you've used for years and they completely change the way it looks and acts. you aren't the only private browser in town, brave. get it together.
