Google Chrome gets a "Brave" Competition

-

On a mission to fix the web

Much more than a browser, Brave is a new way of thinking about how the web works. Brave is open source and built by a team of privacy focused, performance oriented pioneers of the web.

No more data charges to download unwanted content

The average mobile browser user pays as much as $23 a month in data charges to download ads and trackers — that’s $276 a year. Brave blocks ads and trackers, so you don’t pay for them.No more data charges to download unwanted content

Comparison

Brave vs. Chrome: Which Browser is Better?

Speed

  • 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 tracks the time it saves you, and displays it when you open the browser.
Advantage: Brave

Privacy

  • Brave blocks ads by default (unlike Chrome, which requires a 3rd-party extension such as AdBlock).
  • Brave blocks 3rd-party tracking by default.

  • On Chrome, mega-advertisers like Google and Facebook use 3rd-party cookies to track your browsing 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: Brave

Security

  • 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: Brave

Drawbacks of 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).

Recommendation

  • 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 4.6 million users in 2018.
  • Brave is almost exactly like Chrome, but faster and less sleezy.

BMW Vision Next 100

THE GREAT ESCAPE. VISION NEXT 100: The motorcycle of the future. Glasses in place of a helmet, smart clothing, full balance without a kickstand: Only three of the many inventions that could become standards for riding a motorcycle and add a new dimension to the sense of freedom in an increasingly digitised world. And the best thing about it: this vision vehicle is already here. Introducing the BMW Motorrad VISION NEXT 100. The futuristic two-wheeler glides through the auditorium, the jet-black triangular frame illuminates the blue and white BMW logo. The female driver only wears a visor, which looks like a pair of glasses from the next century instead of a helmet. She stops and stands up from the seat, without taking either foot off the pegs. The vision bike presented at the "iconic impulses" exhibition. "The BMW Group Future Experience" that is celebrating its world premiere in Los Angeles, transports the viewer to the year 2130. Self-balancing:...

For a while now, Google Assistant has had the ability to read out your text messages aloud. But, this feature was only helpful for users who had all their important messages in the SMS inbox. Google Assistant did not support the same for third-party apps. Until now. As part of its latest update, Google Assistant will now be able to read your messages from third-party apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and more. You will also be able to send a reply through the assistant to these apps. The read-aloud feature is particularly useful when you're driving, cooking or otherwise have your hands full. And with the latest update, you might not need to touch the phone to even check if your WhatsApp message needs an immediate response. Notably, Google hasn't announced this officially, however, the feature was noticed by many users of the Android community. This was first spotted by Android Police. But this also mean, that the feature might not be widely available righ...

Space Waste & Debris: The Biggest Problem We Can’t See

-
Image
On October 4th, 1957 the then Soviet Union (USSR) successfully launched its Sputnik 1 satellite into the Earth’s orbit. While the spherical Soviet satellite wasn’t threatening to look at (weighing a mere 184 pounds and measuring a slim 23 inches wide), its small beeping signal heard back on Earth resonated throughout the United States and was viewed as a massive threat. As it turns out, that tiny beep ignited the already simmering space race and effectively forced both countries to push their limits of innovation and technical ability to the breaking point in an effort to reach a nonexistent finish line. October 4th, 1957 was also the day that many stargazers tracked a faintly shining object as it sped around the Earth at 17,500 miles per hour. Many thought that they were looking at  Sputnik 1 but in reality, they were seeing the detached rocket body that propelled it into orbit. While Sputnik 1 was roughly the size of a large beach ball, its rocket body was nearly 85 feet lo...
