settings are lacking and the app doesn't listen to what you set in the settings anyway. App was always auto filling every time I started tuping in the search bar even with every instance of autofill and autocomplete set to OFF. Just another one of the sites that is becoming scummy by pigeonholeing users into minimilist choices that mean nothing and are t followed anyway. Want to turn off ads, only intrusive ones, but they will let anything through that they want. redirects and popups. bad

It's been my main mobile browser for quite a while now (i.e. 4+ years) and it's gotten good, yes, but my main pet peeve, the thing that p*sses me off the most, is the annoying snack bar after closing a tab. It lasts like 30 seconds. It's too much time. I wish a close icon for the snack bar would be added. You can keep the snackbar open as long as you want guys, but we need that close button. So, until the close button for the snackbar is added, I'm giving you 4 stars 😬

Brave is an excellent browser. The tracker blocking is a very nice addition to a well laid out chromium based browser. Tab grouping is done well. The only issue I have right now is that sometimes some of my tab groups get moved around and since reopening the browser automatically takes you to the bottom of all the tab groups, it can be tedious to scroll all the way back up and find the one I'm looking for.
