Overall Satisfaction with Brave

There are so many browser options available it's difficult to know which one is right for your business. Our office is all Apple so that was a factor. We tried using Safari for a while but it didn't suit our needs though we did like many of the privacy options. I was listening to a Grumpy Old Geeks podcast and they mentioned trying Brave and gave their positive review so I downloaded it and tried it. Like most new things it took me a while to learn the interface but it was very intuitive. I especially feel confident in the privacy factor which was really lacking in Google Chrome. So far, we've had no issues on any of our client or vendor websites.

Pros

  • Privacy
  • Ease of use
  • Syncs well

Cons

  • I don't know what a perfect browser would be
  • It suits our needs as we feel confident when using it
  • Sorry I cannot think of any flaws
  • Less workplace frustration
  • Greater sense of privacy
  • Greater sense of security
It's such a subjective answer but we aren't looking to do anything too crazy. Just access a website and be able to get work done. We operate our business on the full suite of Zoho apps and have had zero issues otherwise we would not be continuing to use it. Everyone once in a while I'll give Safari another go when there's been a update but after a short time, I go back to Brave. I'll do the same with FireFox on occasion as I like to make sure we are optimizing all that we do but keep returning to Brave.
We'll Simply put, we are still using Brave exclusively, so unless we're idiots, which we're not, Brave does a much better job than those other 5. We've also tried using Opera which isn't in the list and same thing, it didn't deliver the performance or features that we needed so back to Brave it was. What's unusual to us is that Brave is built on the Chromium platform, so you'd think ChromeOS would be better, but it's not.

Do you think Brave delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Brave's feature set?

Yes

Did Brave live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Brave go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Brave again?

Yes

For day to day use it works fine both business and personal. I find it fast and reliable. We are not using the LEO ai feature since we are already using ChatGPT but we probably should check it out as there may be some real benefit from a more integrated application. We have some company specific extensions which were important to us and so far they have all worked exceedingly well.
