What Brave users are talking about.

Users repeatedly report that Brave crashes or restarts and wipes all open tabs with no way to restore the previous session. This has been a persistent, long-standing bug that reviewers note has gone unfixed for years, making the browser fundamentally untrustworthy as a daily driver. For Brave users who chose the app specifically for its privacy and ad-blocking features, this instability is especially frustrating because it forces them to abandon an otherwise preferred browser.

Don't use this browser. It would be great but it's unstable. I had dozens of tabs suddenly all gone and when I searched for solutions found no answers and years of people reporting the same thing happening, and the app developers still have…

The search results are patchy at best as to whether they find what I’m after, at least compared to other browsers. The real problem though, is having to “prove you’re not a robot” at least 6 times an hour, it essentially made the browser un…

Users consistently highlight Brave's native ad and tracker blocking as the primary reason they switched from Chrome or other browsers, praising how it eliminates pop-ups, redirects, and YouTube ads without any extra setup. This manifests as enthusiastic recommendations and comparisons to competitors where Brave clearly wins on a clutter-free, faster browsing experience. For Brave users, the ad blocker is not just a feature but the core value proposition that defines their loyalty to the browser.

Users overwhelmingly praise Brave's built-in ad blocker as the primary reason they downloaded and love the app, with YouTube ad removal being the single most cited benefit. Reviews repeatedly describe relief from intrusive, time-wasting ads on YouTube and other sites, framing Brave as a solution to a problem other browsers failed to solve. This matters to Brave users because ad-free browsing — delivered for free without a subscription — is the core value proposition that drives adoption and loyalty.

Users overwhelmingly cite Brave's built-in ad blocker as the defining reason they use the browser, praising its ability to block ads on YouTube, streaming sites, and general web browsing without a paid subscription. A minority of reviews note occasional failures where pop-ups or ads still slip through, particularly on certain sites. This is the central value proposition Brave users care most about, making any degradation in ad-blocking effectiveness a significant concern.

Best browser right now, blocks ads and and popups even in videos. blocks all the ads that come up when you go on the sites you know the ones I'm talking about, also blocks all the annoying things you need to close out when you want to watch…

Users primarily download Brave to watch YouTube ad-free and with background play, but repeatedly encounter bugs that undermine this core use case — including videos failing to load, fullscreen and picture-in-picture malfunctions, audio cutting out, crashes during playback, and broken scrolling or autoplay. These issues are often tied to recent updates and persist despite cache clearing or app restarts. Because YouTube ad-free viewing is the main reason many users choose Brave, these playback failures directly threaten user retention.

Brave makes every website better with their ad blocker. I clicked a link yesterday and in the “in-app browser” I was in, it was unreadable due to ads. Opened it in Brave and suddenly I can see everything! My only issue is that sometimes wh…
