Brave Browser And Search Engine Keep Getting Better
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2023
- The Brave Browser and the Brave Search Engine have become really good in the last couple of releases. The browser now comes with features such as vertical tabbing as well as personalized news feeds. The search engine has now become 100% independent and no longer relies on Bing...

Your support is very much appreciated. Thanks, guys! - Наука та технологія
DuckDuckGo is straight Bing results, they pull straight from Bing. They also had Microsoft ad tracking even though their whole schtick was no tracking.
scam, in my arrogant opinion
And they started censoring alleged Russian propaganda results. I prefer Brave search because it lets you use Googles to give the user control over what kind of results they want to filter out. If you don't want right wing news or left wing news you can do that. That's a much better system then letting DDG decide what is and isn't propaganda.
I hope they will have their own image search soon too.
Thats the only thing about it i dont like
They used to have one right? What happened?
edit: i remembered, they redirect you to other sites to be more transparent aparently, i prefered the proxy tho
@@clemente_01 in terms of principal, i prefer the proxy. In terms of practicality i prefer the redirect just because their image search was beyond atrocious. I assume they are working on their own image search behind the scenes though
I mean they did but now it's just a link
They do now!
Brave has been my main browser for more than 1.5 years and I absolutely love it
Same here ever since Techlore talked about Brave.
I've been on Brave since 2019. I'm using StartPage results still. I love the syncing of my bookmarks with my mobile phone and tablet (without logging in).
@@hotrodjones74 I'm using brave from ages and I alr have it for my phone..I don't use it on pc only cuz it don't sync..nor my iPhone connects
Very interesting new ergonomic features makes me wonder why we haven't seen vertical tabs in the mainstream browsers since it's such an obvious upgrade. Thanks for the overview.
you can have them vertical in Vivaldi but I dont find it really comfortable
I think computer screens were smaller back in the day
Edge actually has it
vivaldi has it and a whole lot more, try it (well unless u hate proprietary stuff)
@daniel halachev yes sadly :( if they made the source code available or opened/freed it it honestly would be unstoppable.
Vertical tabs -- a fantastic feature, very nicely implemented!
Man sometimes I think that Mozilla needs people to work on Firefox
Mozilla needs to stop being anti free speech leftwing cucks.
@@hotrodjones74 So does Brave though 😂
I just tried out the vertical tabs thanks to you, they're awesome. The featre still needs some polish like adding dragging links to below or in between a tab.
I agree with every point you made in this review. Brave keeps getting better and better. I think their search results are fast and accurate and these guy have made some really neat customization's and inspiring innovations. And it looks like they are working toward an ecosystem of their own that is also innovative. I seldom use anything else on my computer or phone and my workplace has allowed them to be installed, so I use them there too. Thanks Derek and peace!
I tried brave around October 2020, used it for a few months, and can confidently say that it absolutely sucked
Don't worry, it's gotten infinitely worse in every way since then :)
Since I discovered Brave 1 year ago I am using it in every Device and nothing else anymore.
Absolutely awesome.
The only problem I have with Brave that Brave doesn't have an account that save my settings and bookmarks.
If all my sync devices gone or deleted, how am I gonna restore my bookmarks?
Workspaces feature and hibernate tabs and workspace for reduce ram usage would be good either.
I just installed Tabliss and it is painful to setup, but at least I was able to save the json file for later use. The only real pain is just setting up all of the links, but I get way more than I could have on the NewTab page.
Thanks DT!
Hey DT, I am intrigued by your Tabliss setup. In your opinion what do you think is better - Traditional bookmarks or the way you do it?
Thank you short video, I will give Brave a try! Thanks!
Thanks DT, 👍 Going to download Brave
Wow, Brave is coming closer to what Opera was doing 20 years ago ! 😲
Soon enough, they will surpass it and then start to snack on what Vivaldi's been doing for ages. Can't wait to see a sidebar for my bookmarks !
PS: yeah, the search engine is nice. The rest is, at least, meh.
@@d4r1us_drk bloated yes but so is brave DO YOU WANT TO BINANCE YOUR WALLET??
@Darius Drake For Vivaldi, the UI is proprietary, but the browser is OS. And I use multiple of Vivaldi's features, so I don't have to launch several other applications that would bloat my RAM and storage.
I started using Brave on my phone to get away from the Google New Page Tab. That's been great, and when I switched to Linux I also switched from Chrome to Brave on my desktop, which was a smooth transition. Nothing bad to say about either browser.
i'm giving the new vertical tabs a try to see if I like it or not. Nice that it has this new feature, but also lets you go back to the old style.
Brave is a really nice browser and my go-to choice on both my computers and my phone.
Even just the dark theme justifies it for me, let alone the brilliant adblocking features.
Didn't know about vertical tabs, need to check it out. Needless to say, I also prefer their search engine. It completely replaced the Google search and DDG for me. Using Bing? Not in a million years! 😆
The scroll bar still does not disappear when not in use.
Since 1-2 months I'm struggling a bit with one of the download features.
On Windows when you download an executable file then Brave shows a warning regarding potential security issues and whether to keep the file.
I found no option so far to disable it. 😢 Anyone found a toggle for this annoyance?
you can open a link in a new tab by pressing the middle mouse button, no need to go to the context menu
i found this thing by accident two years ago and now its a muscle memory.
I just CTRL-click 🙄
@@krazymonster13 middle click is faster
1:13 Microsoft edge has this lol, in fact it’s more of a base chromium feature. I think other browsers are slowly adopting it😅
Hi, recently switched to brave from Opera (due to its speed and privacy features). Opera's dashboard was great and so convenient. Trying to figure out in Brave how to add all of my bookmarks to Brave's "Dashboard page" and consequent ones automatically. Can you advice?
Brave is my primary browser at work (because our intranet security is so bad that the "thisisunsafe" cheat code is necessary to do basically anything), but I haven't switched on my home computer because of how hard they're pushing their crypto stuff.
Crypto is the future, fool, roll with it.
@@johnryder2361 If crypto is the future, I think I'll pass on it. If you're gonna go through the effort to overhaul the monetary system, at least replace it with something better than "fiat, but cyber!"
I've been using Brave for years now, and I love it too. The weird thing is that every now and then I will run into a form that won't work in Brave and it works fine in Firefox. I am guessing this is because Brave's Shields are blocking some shady stuff the form is doing or something, I don't know.
What streaming services do u use?
As long as Brave is using Chromium's engine, I am not interested. A bit surprised that you are.
Yes! I use Firefox as my primary browser on desktop, and Firefox Mobile on my phone. I'm trying to migrate to Nyxt browser as my primary browser, and I sometimes use w3m and torbrowser - all of which are not blink-based. I also change the user agents of scrapers, etc. I run to be of Firefox on Linux (rather than the deplorable chrome on windoze they almost always are). Shame on DT for promoting the blink monopoly.
There is nothing wrong with Chromium's engine. It is the most heavily developed browser engine, along with WebKit. I get disliking Chrome, but why hate on a severely maintained browser engine that works better than Gecko? I don't personally like Brave due to its crypto nonsense, but even I know that Blink is better than Gecko (and WebKit honestly), despite Blink's original ties to WebKit.
i actually had no idea it was using brave search, it looked like google to me, and i didn't notice any difference in what i was googling, so it's actually good.
Using Brave as a 2nd browser due to it being a more private chromium base. Trying Brave Search, and I'm impressed, it was not very good when it came out but way better now.
Brave has been used by me for years. Yes, it gets better
I used brave for years. However I like Firefox now, not sure if this new Brave can make me go back.
"Brave is so much better than proprietary garbage like Edge and Vivaldi".
Vivaldi is like 95% open source, with only the UI being closed source, which I don't understand at all, but oh well. I like the idea behind the browser, but Brave is really the best browser for most people.
I used Brave a year ago, but since then I have switched to LibreWolf. I don't know why, but something just pulls me towards Firefox, even though Chromium has some serious cool features (espesially for web developers like me!). I've wanted vertical tabs for a long, long time so I may just consider going back to Brave! Also, I self-host an instance of SearXNG, which pulls and mixes results from many search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, Qwant, Brave and directly from some websites like UA-cam, Wikipedia and even ArchWiki!
im on the same page as you, brave and librewolf using searx, DDG, Mojeek, i mainly use librewolf, but i have brave as a backup browser. with all kinds of extensions to block ads, no scripts, decentraleyes, smarthttps... etc...
How did you manage to do the API or keys for the search engines such as Google? I couldn't make it work :(
Every damn time i startup Brave I get the nag screen that it isn't my default browser and there's no way to disable that.
How can i change Brave Android wallpaper, or is this feature gone?
I completely forgot about DDG. They fell off so hard, I erased them from my memory.
Vertical tabs. Nice
Thank you very much, I did not know about this, I have been waiting for Brave Browser to get vertical tabs since Microsoft Edge got this option.
I am also glad that they have changed the download behavior, I did not know about this either, that was annoying, so I am glad that it has improved.
I also agree that Brave Search is better than DuckDuckGo, now I only rarely use Google Search when I need to look up business contact information & maps & image search & the occasional miscellaneous search.
Once Brave Browser gets a screenshot option & text-to-speech & the ability to fill PDFs, there will be no reason to use Microsoft Edge.
oh i might use vertical tabs now. i stil have no really idea how i use Groups though.. or reading list
I love Brave. I switched from Chrome when I switched to Linux full time and my only complaint is that it isn't in any of the major repos apart from Flathub.
For some reason, Vivaldi, a proprietary web browser, is in the extra repo of Arch while Brave is only in the AUR. Why!?
I switch between Brave and Librewolf depending on the device. Some devices one browser performs better than the other. I don’t really mind either it just depends on the situation.
1. Can the tab bar be scrolled when there are many tabs open? 2. Is there a separate search field? 3. Do frequently used sites appear on the new page?
They have vertical tabs now
Please, please, please tell me how you got the search bar in the middle of your new tab! At the beginning of your video you show the search bar with stuff below and above it. How do you do that? That is the only thing that’s holding me back from embracing the brave browser totally! Answer: tab bliss! Thank you!
I use waterfox (firefox fork with cool customizations) for personal, and brave for work and school, but brave search on both.
_Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'better' that I wasn't previously aware of_
What the hell I have never seen the Brave Whats New site on updating. I had to rely on news sites to show me they added vertical tabs!!
yes! brave overall has gotten so much better, and it was already good. search has improved so much.
Before they got rid ot the download bar they gave you the option see all and that got rid of the bar, and then they added the download arrow in the upper right.
i know DDG results aren't great, but Brave Search doesn't seem to have keyboard navigation/shortcuts which is a deal breaker for me.
Se arreglaron los problemas con la sincronización?
Problemas? Su método de sincronización es problemático
I only had Brave for the BAT given but for two months now I was supposed to receive BAT and i get nothing. Who knows how to contact them so it's time to move on to something else. Maybe Impervious.
I use brave search and my biggest issue with it is that the newest versions force you to use a third-party search engine for images. It's annoying because there is no need for them to open a different website just to show images. Why don't they just proxy a different service like startpage does?
Startpage’s entire purpose is proxying google, all its results are proxied google results. Brave has always been doing so with images, they just wanted it to be more transparent and allow you to choose.
How's breakfast? Did you have McDonalds this time around?
(Derek, you are very BRAVE to use this browser)
I switched to Brave since it is much faster than Firefox. They just added vertical tabs and i'm loving it.
when i started using brave it was super speedy and quick. now theres soooo much bloat that i cant remove that just makes the browser crawl slower than chrome
I love brave and I've been using it for years now, but it also became bloated with a lot of features I don't need or use, and I don't like that at all
I've used Ecosia for years
Interesting because I actually think Brave search is getting worse. No more images, they now redirect you to Bing or Google. The AI summarizer also seems half-baked and is wrong a lot of the time. Still better than DDG though
images will return eventually... supposedly (can't find any time frame anywhere)
They were always using other images services, they just wanted to make it more transparent and let you choose.
@@prussianjger7050 I know but I preferred the proxy
Since the update from 1.51.114 to 1.51.118 I've been having slowdowns and lockups. Had to use xkill a lot.
I'm on 1.51.117 and it is running smooth as silk, maybe they screwed something up in the latest version. Probably the next upgrade will repair things, give them some feedback, so it speeds up the process.
@@wikingagresor Yeah people reported the same thing I did for linux mint. Over the past few days it's been working better. They suggested to clear the cashe.
What I do not like is that they do not have their own image or video lookup, you have to choose from either bing or google.... 2 of the places I am trying to avoid.
Brave Is Chrome based and Google has locked out some of the functions of his extensions I like and there's nothing they can do about it because it's Chrome based. If they moved to Mozilla base then I could use these extensions again and I would like to use their browser then.
Sorry to break ti to ya, but mozilla is scummy these days. Donations dont evne go towar the browser at all.
Please make a video on setting up DWM in LXQT. 🐧 (And make own tiling 🤔 desktops environment distro )
Dont know if dwm is possible, i love lxqt + i3 and soon sway
Is it worth paying $3/month for the Premium version of Brave Search Engine?
I preferred DDG over brave when I used it, brave search is good for things where you're looking for reddit or forum results like video game modding far better than other search engines there, but it's worse for day to day search results especially localised ones, the results are not that good in my region at least so I end up relying on bangs to use ddg or startpage anyway, at that point I could just use ddg for daily searches and use brave search as a bang when I feel it'd be better.
Presearch works quite well for me. I haven’t registered and don’t use advanced features. Not sure about their privacy policy either but they don’t block tor exit nodes.
They finally gotten rid of that annoying download bar. Which I'm thankful for, since Brave is really the best Chromium browser out there. And it needs to outclass Chrome as much as possible, make the users happy and more productive at the same time.
Brave search is great. I kust wiqh it would show results faster, otherwoise I would use it as my main search engine
Although Firefox is fantastic, I am leaning towards Brave as my default browser.
Love brave.
I tried using only Brave for a month, and while English search results were as good as, if not better, than DDG, unfortunately searching in other languages didn't work as good for me. Looking forward to improvements though!
I wish I could use the Brave browser. But It's just chrome with reskinned UI and some privacy. On the other hand BS redirects me to Google/Bing for non-webpage search result. Which is just shit.
This seems like something that'll be mainly used of your have a solar panel sized screen in fro't of your eyeballs..
Browsers UI seems to me work best if kept the way ot was in 2008-2013.. the rest is unecessary imo
I do want full URLs... the reason I left Google search for DDG
I think it's about time for brave to make it to the Arch repos, I've never used it because I can't spend a day and a half waiting for my potato PC to build it from the AUR 😭
I think there is a brave-bin version, which is the binary version in the AUR, but I agree; Vivaldi shouldn't be in the Arch official repos if Brave isn't!
I just use its flatpak on endeavour os if I need it in the rare case something doesn't work well on firefox.
I use brave daily.
I like the Brave browser, but. I just prefer the Vivaldi browser better. Also, just because Vivaldi has a small portion of proprietary code, doesn’t mean it’s crap. I personally do not like this kind of extreme thinking
So brave is getting better because it got side tabs? Why you didn't talk about the useless features like crypto garbage, web torrent, brave shields (it didn't block an ad 5:11)
I dumped brave when I tried to engage with their rewards plan. That required a crypto currency site to send my money to but that site wanted my social security number sent over the web to sign up. No way I will ever do that. I complained on the brave forum and got no good advice so I dropped brave.
Brave continues to get so brave, we should start having a rave for how good it is!
Unfortunately their image search is now hot garbage. Once they get that working I'll be impressed.
While I like Brave the lack of a sync fetature really hits me, so I always end up gravitating to Vivaldi. I hope they add one later.
It has sync.
it has sync lmao
Its sync is weird. It's easy to lose all saved bookmarks
I have been using Brave as my browser mostly because Firefox has become unusable trash.
I wish they’d get rid of all that web3 bs. But of course, I’m still using it because there’s literally no alternative.
Nyxt, Firefox and its many forks, Epiphany, Tangram, et cetera. At the very least you can absolutely use Firefox instead.
LibreWolf better 100%
Vivaldi is still the best around customization and way ahead in advancement. The options are endless in vivaldi.
And Vivaldi has a good sync
🤣 👍👌
Brave is acting as spyware now, It turns on vpns and advertises crypto mining without users permission.
deleted brave yesterday after 4 years, it became bloated and annoying AF, its really sad to see a good program turn into a bad one...
I'm only using it for YT since I just started seeing stuff trying to block AdBlock.
Once you go Brave you put all other browsers in the grave...
I still will never use brave so long as it's blink-based. Don't support the blink/chromium monopoly! Firefox has been my daily driver for years, and I'm looking to migrate to Nyxt from it as my primary browser (which is WebKit, not blink). The other browsers I use - Firefox Nightly on mobile, torbrowser, w3m, Tangram soon perhaps, are all also not using blink. When doing web development, I also explicitly do not test on blink-based browsers. When running scrapers and shit, I try to always change the user agent to be of Firefox on Linux (unfortunately, most of them are set to chrome on windoze- absolutely despicable). I do my part...
As for brave search, last I checked they were highly unethical (and determined to stay that way - they refused to release the source data of the engine to its users, willfully violating their users' fundamental rights), so I will not swap to a new highly unethical search engine from the old highly unethical search engine I unfortunately basically need to use, unless there is some real need to.
Also DT, you should be able to middle-click on the links to open them in a new tab, rather than right-clicking and then clicking 'open in a new tab'.
Why the hate on Blink? I understand disliking Google Chrome, due to Google's monopoly on the browser market. But Blink / Chromium isn't developed by just Google. It is developed by many other companies and individuals, and is a significant open source project that anyone can contribute to if they want. It's like me going and saying "i won't support the gnu software monopoly", which is downright sad because gnu software is really good despite the ties to you know who.
Blink is a _severely_ good browser engine, and it should not be avoided just because of its ties to Google. Same with Chromium. Google Chrome, sure, because it has a lot of tracking and stuff. But avoiding all Blink-based browsers because of Google Chrome is unnecessary imo.
@@evelynmarie3 Because developers are no longer developing for the web - they're developing for blink. They go against the web standards if blink does, only test on blink, and screw over all engines and make it extremely hard for any new projects to take off if those projects aren't just forks of blink. It's a monopoly, and I do what I can not to support it. The competition of other engines is also good for everyone. On a more personal note, I want nothing to do with google, especially stuff they have a lot of control over, which blink most certainly is. Also the blink CoC and likely horrible culture around it kills any chance of my contributing
Vivaldi propietary garbage, really? why?
First.
first
Brave???😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 What has happened to this world...
Ann Nicole Smith has been elected as the new Pope...
In all honesty I think kts because the competition keeps getting worse.
Like Brave but reluctant to stop supporting the Mozilla search engine otherwise we'll end up with just Chrome based search.
