Brave starts out pretty great. Whenever I get a new phone and redownload it for the first time, it succeeds in being the perfect ad blocker but after a few months, it stops blocking the ads and pop ups and no matter what I do, I can never fix it, which is the only reason I use it to begin with. I really love using it but I wish it was consistent.

Happy with the turn on option of the multiple blocking of pop-ups coming from various countries (wording as the language spoken in the country, ie. Chinese, Russian, etc....). It is so annoying to search for something benign as a recipe and constant pop-ups repeated appear while you're viewing ingredient list. I have had to literally close out the annoying pop-ups over and over again without even quickly looking as the ingredient list because pop-ups appear that rapidly.

Love Brave, much better than other browsers. However I keep running into an issue lately. Even though I've toggled it on, media/videos no longer plays in the background. Very annoying when trying to multitask on mobile. Troubleshooting methods for both the app and my phone have not helped. Other apps of mine don't have this problem, so I think it's brave.
