Here are my first impressions of the brave browser after using it for several days:

The best part about using the Brave browser is now I am getting rewarded with BAT (basic attention tokens) for the ads I view. My initial impression is its just as fast as google chrome. Brave doesn't store your browsing history and has a ton of customization settings to fit your specific needs.  I like it so much so far that I have already removed the google chrome browser from my taskbar. I don't feel like I have made any compromises by switching to the Brave browser.

Below is my referral link if you'd like to try out the browser yourself.
