J'ai utilisé Brave pendant 2 ou 3 ans et oui il n'y a aucune pub
Mais la crypto associée ne marchait pas (impossible d'en gagner plus après la première semaine)
Le navigateur plantait ou naffichait pas certains sites donc j'étais obligé de passer sur Chrome pour tester tous les sites quand je suspectait un bug
Je suis passé a Opéra et j'ai 0 pb pour le moment

Brave bloque les pubs et trackers
Bloque les pop-up genre "accepter les cookies"

Sur mobile tu peux ecouter youtube en arriere plan, tel vérrouillé etc

Tu peux meme etre payé a l'utiliser quelques euros par mois nofake mais c'est pas activé par défaut si ça t'interesse pas

C'est ultra user-friendly tout en etant le plus privé, c'est vraiment le meilleur navigateur

Bah tiens :

> "Way back in 2016, Brave promised to remove banner ads from websites and replace them with their own, basically trying to extract money directly from websites without the consent of their owners"

Misleading characterization. Brave never aimed to extract money from websites. We explored solutions that protected user privacy while ensuring creators didn't lose revenue. The early model proposed replacing harmful ads with privacy-respecting alternatives that paid creators a larger percentage and shared revenue with users. As Brendan Eich stated: "Brave's model: block all, async-insert fewer/better ads, give users rev-share + user µpaywall to top sites ad-free" (
https://x.com/BrendanEich/status/691336877111050241
). This model never launched; we developed Brave Rewards instead (brave.com https://brave.com/brave-rewards/).

> "In the same year, CEO Brendan Eich unilaterally added a fringe, pay-to-win Wikipedia clone into the default search engine list."

Brendan opened an issue to add another search engine option at the request of a user, and the team implemented it. At that time, Brave was a lightweight shell on Electron without auto-detection of search engines (now supported via Open Search protocol). User requests for search engines were typically addressed through Issues/pull-requests.

> "In 2018, Tom Scott and other creators noticed Brave was soliciting donations in their names without their knowledge or consent."

This mischaracterizes what happened. In 2018, there was confusion about creator contributions. Our interface distinguished verified creators with checkmarks but didn't clearly mark unverified ones. Tips came from Brave's user-growth pool to encourage adoption.

Tom Scott provided valuable feedback, and we updated the design within 48 hours. Brave Rewards then clearly indicated which publishers hadn't joined and removed unverified creators' images (brave.com https://brave.com/rewards-update/). Tom acknowledged our fixes: "A final update on the thread about Brave: they're now opt-in for creators! While it's still possible to tip folks who haven't opted in, the data is stored in-browser and the UI has been clarified. These are good changes, and they fix the complaints I had!" (web.archive.org https://web.archive.org/w[...]tatus/1085238644926005248).

> "In 2020, Brave got caught injecting URLs with affiliate codes when users tried browsing to various websites."

An implementation error added affiliate codes—intended for a small set of keywords (e.g., "binance", "ledger")—to fully-qualified URLs ("binance.us", "binance.com", and "ledger.com") in the address bar. The intent was to offer affiliate options in the omnibox to support Brave's ongoing development. We promptly fixed this across all channels, and Binance confirmed no revenue was generated (brave.com https://brave.com/blog/re[...]codes-in-suggested-sites/).

> "Also in 2020, they silently started injecting ads into their home page backgrounds, pocketing the revenue. There was a lot of pushback: 'the sponsored backgrounds give a bad first impression.'"

We announced Sponsored Images with a blog post (which you linked to). Brave is free, and finding privacy-respecting ways to support development is reasonable. Users can disable these images with two clicks or opt into Brave Rewards to earn BAT.

> "In 2021, Brave's TOR window was found leaking DNS queries, and a patch was only widely deployed after articles called them out."

There was indeed a DNS leak caused by the interaction of two privacy-enhancing features: Tor windows (added 2018) and CNAME-based ad blocking (added 2020). It's worth noting that these features aren't offered by other popular browsers, and their combination resulted in Brave functioning like the competition, and no worse. We promptly fixed this by disabling CNAME ad blocking in Tor contexts (github.com https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/7769/).

> "In 2022, Brave floated the idea of further discouraging users from disabling sponsored messages."

The proposal simply informed users that sponsored images support Brave's development and that opting into Rewards would mean no longer earning BAT for viewing them. What's objectionable about that? (Note: The GitHub issue should have been closed years ago, but had been forgotten. To avoid any further confusion, is it now closed.)

> "In 2023, Brave got caught installing a paid VPN service on users' computers without their consent."

The VPN service was installed for some Windows users but remained completely inactive until explicitly purchased and activated. We addressed this concern (github.com https://github.com/brave/[...]rave-browser/issues/33726) by ensuring the service would only be installed when users purchased it. Contrary to reports, this had no impact on user privacy/security.

> "Also in 2023, Brave got caught scraping and reselling people's data with their custom web crawler, which was designed specifically not to announce itself to website owners."

Our API service structures web content to benefit API consumers. There are limitations on API usage due to the resources invested, but the rights aren't on raw content. The crawler cloaks its user-agent string (like Brave itself) but respects googlebot crawler directives.

> "In 2024, Brave gave up on providing advanced fingerprint protection, citing flawed statistics (people who would enable the protection would likely disable Brave telemetry)."

We sunset the strict fingerprinting mode used by less than 0.5% of users to focus on enhancing our Standard protection, which is already the strongest among major browsers (brave.com https://brave.com/privacy[...]rict-fingerprinting-mode/). This wasn't "giving up" but improving protection for all users while maintaining website compatibility. When a feature is used that infrequently, it becomes a means by which a user can more effectively be fingerprinted. Quite ironic in this case!

> "In 2025, Brave staff publish an article endorsing PrivacyTests and say they "work with legitimate testing sites" like them. This article fails to disclose PrivacyTests is run by a Brave Senior Architect."

The engineer behind PrivacyTests joined our team months after launching the platform. PrivacyTests is open-source and transparent—Brave doesn't always come out on top. There's been a disclaimer at privacytests.org https://privacytests.org/about sharing the author's relationship with Brave for years.

> "They partnered with NewEgg to ship ads in boxes."

We're not allowed to advertise? 😀

> "Brave purchased and then, in 2017, terminated the alternative browser Link Bubble."

Link Bubble became "Brave for Android" and served as its foundation for some time. It's still available on GitHub: github.com https://github.com/brave/link-bubble.

> "In 2019, Brave taunted Firefox users who visited their homepage."

That ad wasn't run by Brave or displayed on our homepage (did you read the page you linked?).

If you think the allegations in this list so far are concerning, check what other browsers have been doing: www.scss.tcd.ie https://www.scss.tcd.ie/D[...]/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf

> "In 2025, Brave taunted people searching for Firefox on the Google Play Store. (The VP denied this occurred, but also demonstrated ignorance of multiple different screenshots.)"

I lack context here but suspect the screenshot is legitimate. It's a playful title—you wouldn't have survived the 90s browser wars (www.sfgate.com https://www.sfgate.com/bu[...]s-browser-war-2803749.php). I just searched Bing for "brave browser" and got sponsored results for Duck Duck Go and Opera—ask me if I'm upset 😉
