Don't be scared, get Brave

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

There are so many browser options available it's difficult to know which one is right for your business. Our office is all Apple so that was a factor. We tried using Safari for a while but it didn't suit our needs though we did like many of the privacy options. I was listening to a Grumpy Old Geeks podcast and they mentioned trying Brave and gave their positive review so I downloaded it and tried it. Like most new things it took me a while to learn the interface but it was very intuitive. I especially feel confident in the privacy factor which was really lacking in Google Chrome. So far, we've had no issues on any of our client or vendor websites.

Pros

Privacy
Ease of use
Syncs well

Cons

I don't know what a perfect browser would be
It suits our needs as we feel confident when using it
Sorry I cannot think of any flaws

Likelihood to Recommend

For day to day use it works fine both business and personal. I find it fast and reliable. We are not using the LEO ai feature since we are already using ChatGPT but we probably should check it out as there may be some real benefit from a more integrated application. We have some company specific extensions which were important to us and so far they have all worked exceedingly well.

Brave's Advantage over other browsers

Rating: 10 out of 10

January 7, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We deal with highly sensitive data, including proprietary research, clinical trial information, genomic data, and intellectual property. Traditional browsers may expose this data through trackers, cookies, or data collection and Brave allows us to be on the safe side and ensure that our data is kept safe and unexposed. This is important for our ISO certifications

Pros

Faster than many other browsers
blocks malicious websites and phishing attempts
Ad free

Cons

It's hard to use the VPN
It's hard to use Tor
No other complain

Likelihood to Recommend

I use some google services that work better with chrome, other than that, everything seams to work well on Brave. From access to cloud storage, computing, databases, all by keeping my privacy and free from malware, I guess Brave works properly in most cases and scenarios, which is very reassuring for a company like mine.

Empowering Privacy and Rewarding Browsing: Brave Browser Review

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

June 19, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Its privacy-focused features and built-in ad-blocking capabilities. By blocking intrusive ads and trackers, Brave enhances browsing speed, protects user data, and mitigates privacy risks.The scope of use cases for Brave can vary depending on the organization's specific needs and objectives. Some potential use cases may include secure web browsing for employees, protection against online threats, and compliance with data privacy regulations.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Brave is the defacto browser for our organization, at large.
While we are not happy with the chrome engine dominance, at least Brave has done serious work on making it better and safer.

Pros

Privacy
Settings + Extensions management
Profile management

Cons

Some minor upgrades in profile management
Less resources consumption (though this largely does not depend on them)
Real time sync of tabs across synced devices

Likelihood to Recommend

All scenarios where a browser is involved. It's a no-brainer.
