Looking at the reviews one might think this browser was safe and effective but like most shiny things nowadays Brave has a very DARK side. I went to a lot of trouble reading all the glowing reviews of this not realizing that they were mostly full of lies and here is why. Brave installer both supposed offline installer and online one won't actually install a browser before first installing a number of background applications that constantly try to go online and exchange data in the background. Supposedly this is to update the program they have not even installed. That's suspicious on its own. If you download the latest version of an offline installer it should just install the program as advertised not spy on your computer. The installer also fills your registry with seemingly hundreds of entry's designed to at will exchange data in the background. I have just spent a valuable hour of my time cleaning up the mess of seemingly spyware that the so called brave offline installed spewed all over my computer.Best advice I can offer to any other possible victims of BRAVE is to take all the positive reviews out there as having a big MINUS Sign in front of the Star Rating.
