Brave Software
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.

Cons
Brave Software
  • 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.

Return on Investment
Brave Software
  • 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.

  • One positive impact is the improved speed of the computers as there's more space on each one.
  • Peace of mind is another big return as we don't need to worry about our files - or our clients.
