Brave Software’s privacy-oriented browser, combined with its blockchain-based digital advertising platform, aims to provide more secure access to the Web for users, publishers and advertisers. Their mission is to provide users a private, speedier Web experience with much longer battery life, help publishers increase their revenue share, and advertisers to achieve better conversion. Headquartered in San Francisco, Brave currently has over 50 million monthly active users and 15 million daily…
It is best suited for larger companies with lots of remote workers that need complex access management. We've barely scratched the surface on what Appgate can do via its API.
Privacy-Conscious Browsing: Brave is an excellent choice for individuals or organizations that prioritize privacy and security while browsing the internet. It blocks unwanted ads, trackers, and scripts by default, providing a more private browsing experience. Compatibility-Centric Requirements: Some websites or web applications heavily rely on ads or third-party trackers for functionality. In such cases, Brave's ad-blocking capabilities might interfere with the expected user experience or functionality, making it less suitable for those specific scenarios.
It is designed to prioritize user privacy. It blocks unwanted ads and trackers by default, providing a more private browsing experience. It also offers features like HTTPS Everywhere and script blocking, which further enhance privacy and security.
It has built-in ad-blocking capabilities that eliminate intrusive and annoying ads, resulting in faster page load times and a cleaner browsing experience. This can significantly improve the overall browsing performance and reduce distractions.
Brave Rewards is a unique feature that allows users to opt into an optional privacy-respecting advertising model. Users can earn Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing privacy-respecting ads, which can then be used to support content creators or redeemed for various rewards.
Live logging in the client. Currently you have to "download" the logs into a zip file and then open that zipfile to look at the logs. There's no logfile to tail or watch.
Load balancing between controllers could be better. Currently relies on round robin DNS and sometimes a browser will pick a different IP than previous and you'll get a big "LOST CONNECTION TO CONTROLLER" message.
Brave's user interface, while generally intuitive, it could provide more options for customization and personalization. Allowing user to customize the browser's appearance, layout, and settings to a greater extent would enhance the user experience and cater to individual preferences.
While Brave offers syncing across devices, including mobile platforms, sometimes there are issues with the reliability and consistency of syncing bookmarks, settings, and browsing history. Improving the syncing functionality and addressing any potential inconsistencies would be valuable for users who rely on seamless integration across multiple devices.
The company has been supportive overall of our needs and desired features. I have not personally called the support services, but I've heard no direct complaints either.
The existing system was FortiGate. The management of the system was a hassle. Because IT personnel had to manually create VPN accounts, user passwords were known to who created them and the end user did not have a way to change them. This created a security issue in the event an IT engineer left the company.
As a normal user of Brave browser, I can share my experience in terms of personal benefits rather than business objectives. Brave has positively impacted my online experience by prioritizing privacy and providing the option to earn rewards for viewing privacy-respecting ads. The built-in ad-blocking and privacy features have enhanced my online privacy and reduced unwanted tracking. Additionally, the opportunity to earn rewards through the Brave Rewards program adds an extra incentive for using the browser.
