Armster 21,860 Report post Posted August 4, 2017 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. 6 Raiden, tbnl, Sypher_04 and 3 others reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazy63 7,288 Report post Posted August 4, 2017 @Armster, thanks for the recommendation. On Chrome, or Firefox, i found used victoria to be incredibly slow. Not so, with Brave. Thanks again. 1 Armster reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sypher_04 8,751 Report post Posted August 4, 2017 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. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 :/ 1 Sypher_04 reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Edited August 4, 2017 by Nigel Tufnel 1 Armster reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raiden 7,288 Report post Posted August 5, 2017 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. 1 Armster reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horatio Hornblower 3,240 Report post Posted August 5, 2017 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. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AoR 770 Report post Posted August 6, 2017 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. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
