Brave Browser: Private VPN 17+

Need a bigger search bar

Brave became my primary browser from the first day I downloaded it, but the only thing that makes me switch to duckduckgo’s app sometimes is the search bar, the search bar there is bigger and feels right to use, for PC brave’s search bar is perfect but for iPads or iPhones, it’s just too small, it’s hard to shift tabs without accidentally closing some. I get there are a lot of features to show, that why there is a need to make the search bar small, but to be really honest I only use those features if either a site is broken or I have to increase security for a particular website, although the number of times I have ever done this is basically less than 20 in 2 months, what can be done is probably making a clean drop down menu which shows all the important features or maybe just show the necessary features like increasing security, also one last thing (am so sorry if am being u know selfish here) I really don’t like the way a single tab covers the full top screen, like I really really prefer it to be a single block on the left side, well without making my review anymore complicated I would really like to end it, the browser is great, security is great, just the tab preview isn’t, have an amazing day/afternoon/evening/night.

Help please

So the past couple of days or so suddenly I cannot open my browser. Brave is my default browser and any time I click the icon it acts like it’s going to open it flashes up and then disappears like nothing ever happened. When I tried to click support here it tried to take me to my browser and exact same thing happened. I’ve shut my phone down and turned back on still happens, I even just updated my phone and it’s still happening. Can anyone please tell me what’s going on and how to fix this please? Thanks Now I see other people with this same problem and one answer was to update to 1.51 but mine is already updated to that and this is still happening. Please help or I’m going to have to change all of my settings and everything that makes brave my default browser because it’s just closing things out and I need to be snide to get the internet. Please help. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I wrote something a few days ago. Now I see a lot more reviews saying this same thing that it won’t open at all. The problem is besides the obvious….. I have a lot of passwords stored in my brave settings and now not only can’t I use my regular browser, but I’m unable to get into any of the websites who’s passwords I’ve stored in brave. This is beginning to become a much bigger problem and I would think that by now with so many others in this same situation that there would be some sort of solution posted by now. Please help. I feel like my life is on hold until this gets resolved. Thank you

Fast, Ad Block by Default, Crypto Rewards and Privacy Focus

What’s not to like right? This is hands down the fastest browser I’ve used on my Mac, iOS and Windows devices. Ads are blocked by default and it’s easy to make changes to the shields when they inadvertently block things that you want to see. Brave’s privacy focus is a huge selling point especially for people who follow tech and have noticed just how creepy the predictive algorithms are getting. One of the most interesting things is the Brave Rewards model and their solution to the current online advertising nightmare - the BAT (Basic Attention Token). Not only to they pay you for watching ads but the tech also promises an opportunity to upend the current broken system of Google-based ads and predictive marketing analytics. What they hope to do eventually is to put the power back consumer’s hands by paying us to view adds and allocating BAT to content providers based on the proportion of attention you give the site monthly. Popularity growth of the platform and additional investment and price increases for the BAT token will be required to get to a point where the system can potentially provide enough revenue to compete directly against Google etc. but Rome wasn’t built in a day. Give it a try and read up a little. I think you’ll like it too.
