This isn't one of my usual posts but I wanna share a cool app.

Brave is a browser with an ad/trackblocker built in, so it's meant to be fast and secure (a relative term).
It's opensource - the business model doesn't rely on secretly tracking your data and selling it to advertisers behind your back.
For most average users, it's perfect for browsing websites like youtube or steemit 😉

One problem you might encounter is that this browser blocks nearly everything, including the cookies, but many websites (steemconnect) will not work when cookies are blocked.

Don't panic. All you have to do is allow cookies.

(and be selective about which sites you trust)

Certain websites will not work with encryption or adblock so you have to play around with the settings. It's a little more cumbersome than using chrome/firefox/safari/etc, but I like Brave because you get to choose what to block for each site.

As you can see I'm blocking ads on youtube and steemit.

I hate ads, especially when they're profiting off your privacy and data. Cookies aren't considered safe either but you can't block them all (in a perfect world I would love to).

I'm not dealing with the crypto/token part of this browser because that's probably another topic on its own.
