Surprised not see Brave listed as an alternative to Google Chrome. Its a fantastic browser
3 comments

I haven't quite been able to fully adopt brave for several reasons, but one simple one is it's (seemingly) lack of no-script like granularity of js blocking. I know it has the block script toggle, and can be expanded to each script file granularity - but those file-level allow/block toggles are not persistent. How do you actually save that allowance of js scripts? It always ends in an endless loop for me of captchas that don't start, allowing them, then a stated change, then needing to allow again, etc.

I realize the answer is usually, 'dont use any js, because it's highly insecure' - but that's pretty difficult to do in today's age. I wish websites were just html5 only most of the time :(

Also surprised not see 'Brave Search' listed as an alternative to Google Search. Its a fantastic search engine and it is only getting better.
