Introduction
So I wanted to start branching out a bit. I'd love to talk about philosophy, do tech reviews, and share more than just Steemit (though it will still be my focus of course). So for today I'm reviewing / spreading awareness on the internet browser, Brave.
Brave Web 3.0
So I will start off by saying this is a blockchain technology but you don't "earn" anything on here, but it is MUCH better. So traditional internet platforms and applications have been run on Web 2.0, but these blockchain technologies are considered Web 3.0. The three main reasons Brave is useful as a web browser right now is privacy, security, and speed.
It is a decentralized, secure web browsing platform that packages the essentials and scrapes away all the excess nonsense you see to give you the real content that is there the fastest.
What does it do?
- Blocks ads
- Upgrades HTTP to HTTPS for security
- Blocks trackers
- Runs twice as fast as Chrome
- Has the needed extensions built in
- Session tabs (saves a set of tabs to come back to)
- Tons of privacy and general customization and settings while not being too complex
- SAVES YOU TIME
The dashboard shows you all your info when you make a new tab or start up here so you can see how useful it's been.
Verdict
I highly recommend Brave after what I've seen I went and invested in their cryptocurrency which currently doesn't have an application with the browser, but who knows, I'm investing in the technology. It's pretty obvious why this gets my approval, it's amazing!
It has something for everyone. If you want more privacy, Brave. If you want more security, Brave. If you want all the best applications built into your browser so you don't have to figure it out, Brave. If you want (as far as I am concerned) the fastest browser experience up to twice as fast as Google Chrome on desktop and up to 8 times faster on mobile, BRAVE! Anyways, I'm not going to reexplain the app haha. I am using it alongside chrome until I eventually switch all my applications to decentralized ones and share my experience! I will try to test the operating system EOS soon.
To make this official here....
Rating: 85/100
I am sure they could get to 100 and since I know of no others, they are pretty much good to go. One drawback is the lack of support for adding extensions, but they explain that having the core ones built in and not allowing more is part of why it's able to be so fast and they don't want to jeopardize that unless the community really wants it. At least they are wary of what we have to say! The other drawback is the fact that their cryptocurrency isn't really useful. Most platforms have some way to earn and distribute their coins, so I'd love to see a creative solution to that and if they do, I am sure they will become a hit.

Like I said before, I invested in their coin, so I have some faith in this. Let me know if you are going to try it out, if you already have, if you know any other cool browsers on Web 3.0 or anything you'd like to share, comment below!

New Browser Brave is like a Singapore Lion Logo on it. I think there is a potential for it to go big. I am using Cliqs as a browser. It blocks the adds too. I mean you can set up. Been using it for a year and so far it is good.
I am unfamiliar with crypto to be honest. But with your suggestion... I will have to consider. thank you @scottcbusiness
BTW, do steemit has an APP? like FB?

I use this at work. Bugs my IT guys. I find that not every website or every functionality on each website will work on this browser. I still have to "unblock" the shields for some sites to work and others I can't use at all -- like my online banking.
But I do like to see the tally of everything that is blocked on a regular basis each time the browser loads. Most of the time it's faster.

True I did have issues with some popups but after fixing that it seems to be the fastest

There goes another reason why I should upgrade from mountain lion. Brave requires at least os x mavericks. I know I sound like someone who was stuck under a rock for years, but there you go. I'll have to just try the android version for my phone.

Hey Scotty, I agree let's all branch out and explore away from the corporatetocratic platforms. A blockchain browser? Cool ! Count me in, the name's Brave? Yes! I love it! I'm ready to battle! my face's painted blue - like Braveheart. :) Thanks I'll download and try it.

Worst browser ever. Freezing tabs, problems with showing youtube notifications from time to time, set the automatic reproduction on youtube ON all the time....and some other minor problems. Maybe if they fix all the problems, I'll go back and try again.

Tor is a very slow browser. I don't like Google, nor Facebook, but Chrome is still the best browser. If the Brave team manage to resolve the bigger problems, I would make Brave my main browser, but until then, I'll stick to Chrome.

ah okay, for me it hits my checklist for chrome. It blocks more ads, is faster, has the extensions I need and session tabs, plus it's more secure and blocks trackers
