Less savvy users just get freaked out and frustrated right away and uninstall…power users or admins just uninstall as fast as possible.Įven if there wasn’t a ton of cruft features the controls and options are so disjointed it’s a time sink/waste to configure anymore. Never mind the options for it (and many other things) are strewn all over and there is no central way to easily disable stuff like that. I recently reinstalled just to have another tor capable browser but the Leo thing was very disconcerting. Over the years it’s just become like the browser equivalent to the car Homer designs for his brother on the Simpsons. I also do IT so when there is discussion of what browser to roll out Brave used to be in the list. I’ve had a lot of people say the same things to me.

Even now I reinstalled and immediately found some big issues with and had to yet again figure out how to get rid of Leo.

Worse is it used to be my primary browser but it just got worse and worse. It could be my (and others) browser, but isn’t. While I can hear the inevitable “I guess Brave isn’t the browser for you.” remarks I’ll agree but that’s also 9sim9’s point. If anything there should be some meta option to enable disable ALL Crypto or Ai stuff in one toggle switch…and set to OFF by default. While I see Thorium as a far better, faster, lighter chromium based browser Brave really isn’t doing itself any favors by just cramming in all this stuff. I mean what am I installing Windows?! As 9sim9 says recommending to lay people it probably comes across more as a spyware scam app which will trigger NOPE UNINSTALL. I recently installed Brave again and amidst the legit bugs I’ve I was also confronted with “Leo.” The core thing here is a new user fires this up and sees all this sketchy crypto bro crap, an Ai assistant, web3 scammery and just tons of ADHD garbage everywhere (looking at new tab “cards” and such).įor everyone that digs an Ai spying on them and Crypto anything lurking there are those of us that see all this as a massive negative and “bloat.” It’s really annoying to have to install and spend 30 minutes to an hour digging through forum posts and options to hide, disable and remove all this garbage.

Bloat here doesn’t mean file size it’s just all the optional crap.
