New Web Browser

It's called Brave it's been around for a year or so.  It's damn good.  Speedy and completely blocks ads.   Try going to your usually ad filled favourite site.  For example, you can go directly to a Forbes article on there without getting hammered with the advertising blowups.

 

Sorry I am starting to become bit of a tech geek.

@Armster, thanks for the recommendation. On Chrome, or Firefox, i found used victoria to be incredibly slow. Not so, with Brave. Thanks again.

Why does this feel like I'm in an infomercial?

I've played with Brave a bit. Seems speedy enough. If they wanna get big though, they'll need to work on the UI. It's not overly pleasing aesthetically.

I'd be happy if it stayed exactly as is.  I'm good with simple.

Maybe you meant this for my cryptocurrency thread?

I mean, I don't mind it that much, but it has very heavy, hard, square edges. Even just softening the edges would go a long way to improving its appeal.

Obviously from a technical standpoint it makes no difference, but it's UI will hold it back in terms of mass adoption, even if it shouldn't.

Oh yeah I don't think it's a finished product at all.  v1.0 is still to be released.  But knowing I can browse without feeling like the great big eyes of Google are tracking me feels good  Of course that is until Google snaps it up :/

Is it a free browser or am I going to have to pay in bowser coins?

Thanks for the heads up, Army. I'll be sure to take a more in-depth look at the browser itself.

[Armster 20,969]

It's a free browser..lol come on guys.  

 

And Dogecoin..haha.

It's actually Mike's response that makes it feel infomercially, not the OP.

Sorry. Had to let @Armster, know how well it worked while browsing used Vic. I go to that site a lot. It really is, slow as fuck with Google Chrome. Whilst only the thickness of a pubic hair better on Firefox.

No need to be sorry, it just struck me as funny is all.

[Raiden 7,002]

I haven't been happy with Firefox or Chrome in months. I don't know why, but they just seem... Stagnant. It never loads faster, only slower, after each update. I never had to worry about memory leaks with either but I have already caught both Firefox and Chrome just eating my ram for no reason. 

 

Granted, I guess when you are competing with Edge you don't have to do much. 

[Horatio Hornblower 3,239]

Chrome mysteriously crashes on my Surface, gone, can't restore my point. I'd suspect MS trashing it except, on my Nexus, it's next to useless. I can clear the cache and labour through re-entering everything but holy fuck.

I can see why Android tablets are dying. Maybe Edge is the answer, if I could just start to like it.

[Raiden 7,002]

I can't remember the last time I used my Android tablet. Next to useless now. 

[tbnl 12,520]

Well, I'm sure anything is better than Opera... hell, I'd use netscape right now over opera.

Fucking terrible pieces of trash.

[Sypher_04 8,733]

Edge is actually faster than chrome fwiw. Not arguing people should use it or anything (I don't), just saying, it's not internet explorer all over again

[Raiden 7,002]

It's ugly though.

Nipzie was still actively playing the last time I played CoC on my tablet 

[AoR 724]

So I tested this out using it the same as I use Chrome. Multiple tabs open across multiple screens and I have to say it was terrible.

I couldn't scroll through LC without the browser freezing. When watching videos they buffered and/or dropped in quality.

Beyond the ascetics which Syph mentioned it just didn't work for me at all. I will keep it around for a while and see if the performance might improve with some updates in the future.

Asthetics*   

 

But aside from that you are the only person I've seen with those complaints and that's out of like thousands of people.
