"The faster you use your cooldowns, the faster you can use them again"
The new Brave browser automatically blocks ads and trackers, making it faster and safer than your current browser.
Soon, micropayments and better ads will give users and publishers a better deal.


I'm ready to browser faster and safer, Are You, YOSPOS?

Actually it's almost all C++ and C because it's chromium and Brave is just a configuration which you'd know if you weren't a simultaneously somehow a noob and and old who hates JS.

Chrome is the best browser with the best addons, extensions, and interoperability with all the Google services that make organizing my multifaceted life a breeze, so I'll stick with it, OP. To me, heh, it's kind of like WInamp - you can DL and install all the drat skins you like, but in end? you always gotta go back to that badass stock skin when it comes time to really whip the llama's rear end.

By that reasoning slack, atom and all the other lovely electron or whatever apps are also almost all C and C++. Doesn't seem to help them much either.

Is this that insane browser that wants to block regular ads and replace them with new ads?

Blue Train
Jun 17, 2012

It aims to block website trackers and remove intrusive internet advertisements, replacing them with ads sold by Eich's company. The browser also strives to improve online privacy by sharing less data with advertising customers, instead targetingweb ads through analysis of users' anonymizedbrowsing history.

Brave.

The difference is that those apps implement their application logic in JS on top of the browser, where the core application logic here is the browser. Why do I need to point this point?

The product "Brave Browser", independent of its underlying components, is a Javascript application with its entire application logic implemented in Javascript.

code:
/tmp/browser-laptop (git)-[master] % find . -name "*.js" | xargs cat | wc -l

Suuure, it's really just a 67k line config file for Chromium CEF Electron (well, or will be after you run it through NPM - the string concat helper).
