Brave Browser Discussion & Update Thread

Why such a question?
Why should?
Do you know any reason or recommend something very important?

 

I was asking considering it's based on chromium or not?
I don't know

 

brave has its own collection for GPO, not tied to chrome.

flags similar as edge or chrome -> brave://flags

 

@Alexai
Oh, thanks. Yes, you can use also chrome://flags instead of brave://flags (and this applies to all chromium-based browsers), but changing flags is quite pointless, because they only apply during testing, then they disappear.

Edit: Please note I added the new, correct link.

 

it seems that brave is not portable?

 

In what sense is it not?
It's portable when you need it to be portable.

 

by default it put profile in my users folder. thats why i ask. opera is portable by default, it dont use super hash like chrome/chromium/edge.

not being portable although using a starter results in loss of extensions and passwords!

"portable" means to use it anywhere without such loss. not on the same system. same system is pretty pointless.

 

@Brummelchen
Opera's installer already has a choice of which one you want, a standard installation or a portable one. You probably chose portable then.
Otherwise, all Chromium-based browsers are exactly the same, the only difference is in design and add-ons. And so Chromium, Chrome, Opera, Maxthon, Vivaldi, Brave and so on - any Chromium-based browser behaves in exactly the same way and you can make a portable installer for all of them or simply change the location of the User Data folder and you can store or save it to anywhere without using any installer at all.
But there are several portable installers for Brave, including the usual BravePortable.paf.exe, which by the way is only made by me.
Lately I haven't done it anymore because there were no users for it, usually only some people.
There's also a github one that hasn't been updated very regularly lately either, but I don't see any reason why people can't do it and/or update it themselves, there is nothing so difficult that it cannot be handled.
You can find the Github version here and I can make an installer in portableaps.paf.exe format if there are users. If there is no users, I won't do.

bit disappointing. PAF is no option, i tried that longer ago (for chrome/chromium) - results in extension and password loss - they still avoid to mention this, lies. one reason i dont use their sofware.
for general chrome behavior, i know about, i tried myself a lot of options to avoid super hash, using hashes and more. may work, but pointless. if the product itself dont use super hash like opera its useless to try anything else. thank you for participating.

 

Don't worry and don't tell such a fairy tales, nothing is going anywhere.
I use daily, make my own portables and more, I've also been using the Brave Portable version and the normally installed version since Brave first came out.
Nothing goes anywhere, nothing doesn't missing anywhere, includin passwords, favorites, favicons, main settings and extensions, even history and opened sites won't missing.
But if you're going to talk that kind of nonsense, I don't want to talk to you about it any more. Maybe we're talking about pink dolls and light blue balloons.
Good night (we have night).

 

if Brave is using super hash like chrome then right - we have reached the end - brave at least is not portable and no starter is able to change this. i have tried that all, trust me. no stories, no telling. i have spend too many time for super hash.
(google invented this to avoid stealing files of a profile)

I didn't think Maxthon was Chromium based, but was WebKit based.

 

The major browser makers – Apple, Google, and Mozilla – each have their own browser rendering engines. Apple's Safari is based on WebKit, Google's Chrome and its open source Chromium foundation is based on Blink (forked from WebKit a decade ago) and Mozilla's Firefox is based on Gecko.

 

@Brummelchen Thank you, I'll read

I thought Mozilla changed Gecko for something else ages ago, or at least the name changed.
