*2 things I didn't mention!!!* 1) Get a VPN, I recommend ProtonVPN because it's private, secure, and NO logs. Check our video review on it after you watch this one 2) I recommend clearing your History, Downloads, and Cache "On Exit" in Brave, it's a setting you can choose 3) I just started using ClearURLs again. I noticed uBO's list wasn't stripping enough out of the URLs to my liking. So for now, I'm using uBO list I mentioned in the video PLUS ClearURLs. Links to all Brave tools and extensions mentioned in video are in the video description!

@@techdiyer5290 Oh I don't recommend most people do that. Then you have to worry about all the security of the VPN. Best to let the Pros do it. 1 dumb mistake and then you have a false sense of security and you don't even know that it's not working right.
Couple of things. 1. I looked at them nearly 3 years ago and found out that they do central routing for data encryption. Because it was central, not open, it makes it a question what else they may be doing with that data. Its been several years since I looked at it after that discovery. Does anyone know if they ever did anything to address this point of concern? 2. VPN. Mullvard VPN is the best on the market right now if you can get it to work on you OS. Proton is good but not always user friendly, and not as good as Mullvard. Windscribe is very user friendly and about on par with Proton in terms of what your getting. Protonmail and Mailfence are probably the best at this time for email. Tutanota is a runner up. 3. Some of those extensions are interesting.
i have never added any comments to any youtube videos but yours deserves a thank you for getting straight to the point and giving super info and extra tips thanks
Firefox is a little more difficult to harden, but the container tabs cause me to keep it as my default browser! Brave is an excellent browser none the less! Your settings for Brave were the same as mine, but I had never gone into the UBlock Origins settings/filters, it just never crossed my mind! So thank you for the Ublock Origins settings/filters, I applied ALL your chosen filters !!! If you have never tried the "One Tab" extension, then give it a try! LOVED THE VIDEO, THANKS !!
Thanks for the suggestion and kind words! Glad to help! Brave gave me a bit better performance but container tabs and also Temporary Containers on Firefox is a must have!
@@Slimothy As I was looking into your statement that Temporary Containers on Firefox is a must have, I found this ..... "Temporary Containers, Cookie extensions is Redundant with Total Cookie Protection (dFPI) or FPI (i.e. STRICT MODE)" ...... on github. I use strict mode on Firefox. It was NOT my intention to prove you wrong, I was just looking into getting Temporary Containers, per your statement. Any thoughts? I respect your opinions, and any more thoughts that you may have on this subjuct! Thanks again!
If you have problems with flickering and weird artifacts when moving your mouse around, try deactivating the hardware accleration. Had that problem on my laptop, now it´s gone.
Great video with lots to take in and benefit from! Questions: Why uBlock Origin doesn't kick in until Brave fails to block certain things? I can only see uBlock Origin working when I manually switch off the Shield button in Brave. The same applies to another extension that have which is Malwarebytes.
Great question! uBO has more lists to filter things that Brave might miss. Plus that extra list that I added there into uBO, it helps block even more. On top of this, you can block 3rd Party website elements very easily with uBO which I tend to do for extra protection against websites which may have malware or be infected. I would not use any other extensions besides these, that malwarebytes extension is probably not needed, and I haven’t heard of their extension. I have only heard of their AV.
@@itsElysian good feedback, but what makes UBO trustworthy? Why shouldn't we suspect it could be tracking us as this is an extension and not a standalone reputable browser?
@@fishpaleryder393 Go read the hisrory on the guy who's been making it for 10-15 years. Far longer than Brave has been around, and no weird moves like the Brave team has done. Plus UB is open source and transparent unlike most browsers.
Thanks for the video. You mention things such as "Dont use the built in tor because its not as secure". Could you explain why this is less secure that using the official tor browser?
Mainly because uBO is so much more powerful, has more lists, can block scripts from third parties, etc. Brave has a lot of lists and works great out of the box but for the best experience, adding uBO on top is the way 👍🏻
Furst off, awesoe video. But for some reason whenever I close out brave and open it up again, I have to re log into everything. And my settings are the same as yours as far as I can tell... any ideas?
Those annoying new "overlay" popups are called modals and can be blocked with most content blockers. You'll also need to block the overflow:none CSS property since these sites like to disable the scrollbars.
No "No Script"? Otherwise, good video. Only Q is, isn't there a ton of duplication in the filter-lists, and doesn't that increase delay? Could be that I'm just rocking a T460 2/4 core lappy.
Nah most people don’t need No Script. I only use that on super hardened Firefox. For daily stuff it’s way overkill. And for lists I don’t notice any delay at all.
That is a pretty big topic which is too complex for just a UA-cam comment but there are sites online and other UA-cam videos that go over it. It has to do with fingerprinting and a few other vectors of tracking that Tor stand-alone is just better for.
I need help with 2 problems im having and im not sure if brave is causing them . i tried few things to fix them but im not sure if its my vm or os linux mint or brave. Im new to all 3 lol Problem one . everytime i use the webpage my scrolling seems laggy/delayed . Problem two. After watching a few videos i get a error ( this video file cannot be played ( error code 102630) the only fix i found for this was deleting history , cookies , cached files. Happens around the 300mb then i get the error . the auto clear cached files doesnt seem to work tho.
Hey, quick question, is there a way to have more than 12 favourite pages on your "New Page"-Tab? That is the only thing that is a little bit annoying but besides than that I enjoy using Brave.
Privacy people disable it. Crypto nerds probably use it. It might be ok but not something most privacy experts are interested in. We just like the built in tracker blocking and tracker spoofing and the fact that it doesn’t track everything we do like Chrome.
Thanks for the great and short guide to Brave. I got one question regarding a behavior that really annoys me. The download bar is super FAT and I want to get rid of it, any idea how I could do that?

Hey! Don't worry about Web-RTC too much, just keep it set to Default Public Interface Only and you'll be fine, local IP won't leak. I still recommend using a VPN though!
Hi I am new here can you use Google to ask it stuff on brave like you can google because I am having alot problems with Google Chrome please let me know thanks
If you don't want to use Tor the Brave with Tor is totally acceptable.... Yes it isn't as good as Tor but if you are just accessing an onion or helping your anon status some it works. If your doing illegal stuff then stop it.
I realize you are trying to cover lots of things but the talking is way too fast. Kept rewinding and taking photos of the screen but still very difficult to figure out your recommendations for the various settings, particularly since your screen shows different headings than what I just got when I downloaded Brave. Assuming there may have been some recent changes in their settings. Assume there is no way to get a transcript of the presentation.
UA-cam has a feature to slow down (or speed up) a video for those that can't keep up. Try that and see if it helps. I'd rather respect most peoples' time and not make them sit through 50 ads because the video is longer. Most people like it, but a few can't keep up and I understand that, but I have to cater to MOST viewers, so these things happen. The slow down/speed feature should be great and will help.
Until yesterday brave was working just fine... But now I'm seeing ads everywhere. I have shields up, block ads and trackers aggressively on and everything, but it just lists that it's blocking 0 ads and 0 trackers. I'm currently on the hunt for a new browser, unless someone knows how to fix this problem.
I don't base my videos off the least-common denominator. There's a pause button, a rewind button, and even a button to slow down UA-cam videos for people who comprehend at a slower pace. Best to speak quickly for most folks to save time. The ones who need things slower can slow the video down themselves or watch it twice. Same difference. I'm just catering more towards the folks who are able to understand things faster, rather than the slower folks.
There are video speed controls as well as a pause and rewind button. This video really wasn’t all that fast. I think most people would prefer a quick video that doesn’t waste their time. And that way, youtube doesn’t add 5 more unskippable ads. But to each their own. Try the speed controls if you need it slower it should fix your issue. 👍🏻
@@Slimothy you're content is presented well. My comment was to highlight a viewers perspective to boost your retention of views. And thanks I'll keep that in mind for next time would have been nice. Instead you reply with 'excuse me while I plaster on a fake smile and hurry through this sh!t one more time' - bill Hicks lol 🤓
@@bman8363 I’m not too worried about retention/views, this channel is just for fun. My goal is to get information out as quickly as possible for people so they can get on with their lives. If I wanted to make 25 minute long unboxing videos like UnboxTherapy I could. But that’s boring and wasteful :) With mine you click my video, you get the info, and you can apply that info, and then you can close that video and never come back to one of my videos and boom you’ve got the info you needed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Not in it for the money. 👍🏻 I appreciate the concern though!
@@bman8363 You're in the minority here. Most people are aware that they can slow down video with the bult-in controls. The fact that you seem butthurt that someone doesn't kowtow to your desires being imposed upon their time is typical entitled SOB. Man here don't care about getting some massive amount of viewers like many YT Creators seem to want, so your fake 'help you' subterfuge is poinless.

Use a service that doesn’t require captchas, that’s the only real fix. Aka not google. Use startpage or DuckDuckGo
I use Brave for all my google sign in and Firefox for all non google sites
Sounds about right. FireFox sucks for UA-cam compared to Brave.

I don't understand why people wants to speak to fast on these videos just slow down so people can understand it better
I don't base my videos off the least-common denominator. There's a pause button, a rewind button, and even a button to slow down UA-cam videos for people who comprehend at a slower pace. Best to speak quickly for most folks to save time. The ones who need things slower can slow the video down themselves or watch it twice. Same difference. I'm just catering more towards the folks who are able to understand things faster, rather than the slower folks.
@@Slimothy I think most of us appreciate the pacing and understand how to lower the speed via YT's own tools. Leas common denominator, lol.
@@boots7859 I had to go in on that kid 🤣
Please don't speak quickly to hurry through a tutorial that you create for audience to follow
There are video speed controls as well as a pause and rewind button. This video really wasn’t all that fast. I think most people would prefer a quick video that doesn’t waste their time. And that way, youtube doesn’t add 5 more unskippable ads. But to each their own. Try the speed controls if you need it slower it should fix your issue. 👍🏻
@@Slimothy you're content is presented well. My comment was to highlight a viewers perspective to boost your retention of views. And thanks I'll keep that in mind for next time would have been nice. Instead you reply with 'excuse me while I plaster on a fake smile and hurry through this sh!t one more time' - bill Hicks lol 🤓
@@bman8363 I’m not too worried about retention/views, this channel is just for fun. My goal is to get information out as quickly as possible for people so they can get on with their lives. If I wanted to make 25 minute long unboxing videos like UnboxTherapy I could. But that’s boring and wasteful :) With mine you click my video, you get the info, and you can apply that info, and then you can close that video and never come back to one of my videos and boom you’ve got the info you needed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Not in it for the money. 👍🏻 I appreciate the concern though!
@@bman8363 You're in the minority here. Most people are aware that they can slow down video with the bult-in controls.
The fact that you seem butthurt that someone doesn't kowtow to your desires being imposed upon their time is typical entitled SOB. Man here don't care about getting some massive amount of viewers like many YT Creators seem to want, so your fake 'help you' subterfuge is poinless.
WHY IS IT BLOCKING CHROME WEBSTORE????????????????? LIKE ITS ALL WHITE AND NOT LOADING?????????
NO IDEA. DOESNT HAPPEN ON MINE

thank you so much for this guide , imho there are some things missing in your settings to make it even more secure and private! in setiing privacy and security switch off : upload daily userping to brave daily , sent diagnostic reports automatically and improve search suggestions. under site and shield settings switch off the following items : location : not allow sites to see your location - camera : do not allow sites to allow use your camera - microphone : do not allow sites to use your microphone.
next up type this code in the adres bar : brave://flags a page opens up and search for these prompts in the search tab on the right :
block screen fingerprinting
DISABLE :

A lot of this is mentioned! Some is not
I tried duckduckgo as my default search engine for a few months and eventually gave up, I found myself going back to google way too often in order to get more relevant results.
Yup. Startpage gives better results imo
