That’s great that they will be implemented in, but it’s poor form to update a browser, push it onto the rest of the users (including those that don’t know a lick of coding (like me)), and have less features than the previous version.
I get that it’s a long process, and that it’s a mountainous pile of work. I’m not trying to downplay that, or discredit any of it.
The issue is a lack of features. I’ve been assured that B:Core isn’t Chrome, but in terms of functionality, it’s missing pretty much everything I used that made B:Muon unique to other browsers out there. For me, personally, this is a functionality downgrade, and others agree. We’ve lost functions, and it’s outright admitted as so (with the promises that they’re coming).
And that’s kinda the thing. Instead of pushing this update out, why didn’t the team wait? Why not wait until it was up to scratch, so that the change wasn’t as jarring as it currently is? Surely that would have made more sense from a perspective sense than having it pushed onto the general userbase, right?
I’m sorry that I’m going on. I don’t want to be one of those guys who irritate and pester over an issue, but at the same time, something does need to be said in my opinion, even if I feel incredibly awkward doing so. I couldn’t recommend Brave enough from my experience with Muon. I’m incredibly glad that the team is as good as they are, and I’m saddened by a lack my lack of cash flow that I can’t afford to donate, because I wish I could.
I just wish that Core could have given a better first impression, because the current first impression is “Hi, I’m Chro- I mean Brave”.
