Dapper versus Chrome: welke browser is beter?
9 april 2020 · 3 min gelezen · Reacties
Ik heb Brave tot nu toe 6 maanden gebruikt. Hieronder vindt u een vergelijking tussen Brave en Google Chrome op het gebied van snelheid, privacy en beveiliging.
Ten eerste: wat is Brave?
- Brave was founded by Brendan Eich, who invented JavaScript and cofounded Mozilla (which makes Firefox).
- Instead of re-making a browser from the ground up, Brave used the same technology as Chrome (the chromium engine) while making small tweaks to increase speed, privacy, and security.
Snelheid
- Unlike Chrome, Brave blocks ads and trackers by default.
- This allows websites on Brave to load noticeably faster than Chrome. Below is a speed test between Brave, Chrome, and Firefox.
- Brave's speed increase is especially noticeable on sites with heavy tracking (ex: news sites) and sites with content-blocking video ads (ex: YouTube).
9,170
Trackers Blocked
77,448
Ads Blocked
2,359
HTTPS Upgrades
1.2 hours
Estimated Time Saved
- Brave tracks the time it saves you, and displays it when you open the browser.
Advantage: Dapper
Privacy
- Brave blocks 3rd-party tracking by default.
- On Chrome, mega-advertisers like Google and Facebook track you with 3rd-party cookies on nearly every website.
- By blocking 3rd-party cookies, Brave limits the amount of data Facebook, Google, and other ad networks can collect about your browsing habits.
- Brave stores all your browsing data locally on your computer, which means you can delete it at any time.
- Brave supports Tor browsing, making it the first all-purpose browser to do so.
Advantage: Dapper
Beveiliging
- Brave automatically encrypts your website connection when possible (on Chrome, this only occurs with an extension like HTTPS Everywhere).
- Brave now supports all Chrome extensions, including popular password managers like LastPass and 1Password.
Advantage: Dapper
Nadelen van Brave
- Every once in a while, Brave blocks part of a website that you wanted to load.
- When this happens, it's easiest to click the lion icon, and toggle the shield to down.
- Since the latest Brave update, this is rarely necessary (maybe once per week).
Aanbeveling
- Brave's speed alone is enough to make the switch worthwhile, and the added privacy and security benefits are icing on the cake.
- Not surprisingly, Brave has skyrocketed to popularity, going from 1 million to 10.4 million users in the past 2 years alone.
Brave Browser – Gebruikersgroei
- Brave is almost exactly like Chrome, but faster and less sleazy.
