That’s no coincidence-Brave is built on top of the open-source Chromium web browser that Google’s own Chrome is based on.įrom a UI and ease of use standpoint, that means the switch to Brave is essentially a painless one for existing Chrome users, with everything situated where you’d expect it to be. The first time you fire up Brave on either its mobile or desktop iterations, you’ll be hard-pressed to spot any difference if you’re coming from Chrome.

Design and UX: Familiar to Chrome users Brave's look and feel is immediately familiar to Chrome users. Is it fast? Does it have all the features you need? Is it good enough to replace Chrome? We’ve put Brave through its paces to see what it’s really like to use as a daily driver. The service is optional, and you’re more than welcome to leave all ads blocked and turned off if you wish. The company’s ad network, which launched in November 2019, provides users with an option to watch these anonymous ads, before being paid in BAT. we shall see.That’s right: Brave users can actually earn revenue in the form of Basic Attention Token (BAT) by opting to view anonymous, privacy-preserving ads. I noticed there was a new Beta version 1.32.84 a few minutes ago, so I upgraded, now wss works, but I bet this is just a rollback to the previous behaviour with wss getting suck every few weeks, sometimes days.

This is driving me crazy, having to manually reload websites that use live streams with websockets every now and then because of that issue.īut today on Brave Beta version 1.32.81 no matter what I tried it would not connect to wss at all (only in Private Window mode). But indeed it happens every few weeks, sometimes days as you mention. in Brave every few weeks, sometimes days, sometimes months. So for you did it actually happen on Chrome and not on Brave?įor me in 2 years with this issues it never happened in chrome. Just upgraded to a new release, the issue seems to be gone (at least for now): Version 1.32.84 Chromium. Had that issue with: Version 1.32.81 Chromium. Such a weird issue indeed with wss:// completely stuck with 'WebSocket is closed before the connection is established'.
