Is the vote before/after supposed to be a way to determine the winner?


Exactly. This differentiates the product from other platforms like Twitter/Reddit where you can ask polls.


There's a comparison chart halfway down the page.

Personally, I'm excited for the mobile launch.


Why not?

Where are you planning to go from there?


We're looking to meet with researchers and clinicians who want to develop other plant and natural medicines through a model that combines mission and the ability to scale.


Personal preference: France, England, Russia, Austria, Germany, Turkey, Italy.




Weird to watch how long it takes to load a single site using their demo video. Makes me think that they are using some type of preloading, which would mean that your web requests are actually being sent to Brave. It appears after some brief research that they are infact precaching, and the other browsers they are testing against we don't have any details on their configuration but can clearly see that they do not have uBlock Origin enabled. I wouldn't consider this a fair test.


We don't collect your browsing data, and it isn't proxied through Brave. I am unsure what preloading information you found. All of our configurations are open source, so if there is something particular you are looking for, it is visible. We are also comparing browser defaults here. However, our adblocking approach is built directly into the browser using a Rust library and can function faster than a Chrome extension.


Not rendering ad networks and trackers.


You can turn off ads in your browser settings under "Brave Rewards". You won't earn any tokens though.
