The Ultimate Guide to Hardening Brave Browser in 2022! Setup, Extensions, and More!

2 things I didn't mention!!!
1) Get a VPN, I recommend ProtonVPN because it's private, secure, and NO logs. Check our video review on it after you watch this one
2) I recommend clearing your History, Downloads, and Cache "On Exit" in Brave, it's a setting you can choose
3) I just started using ClearURLs again. I noticed uBO's list wasn't stripping enough out of the URLs to my liking. So for now, I'm using uBO list I mentioned in the video PLUS ClearURLs.

Links to all Brave tools and extensions mentioned in video are in the video description!

what are some good CUD settings

Nope. You're talking too fast and it's almost impossible to follow you. I know you're having to get through a lot so... break it down into two videos and speak at a normal rate. I'm giving up and going to watch someone else.

Holy fuck you are so privacy concern, privacy is good but you are at extreme.

Me too i used to use Firefox only, and now i have moved to Brave... but i am a bit worried about extensions...

Thank you

You leave “google login” enabled then everything else is pretty much useless my friend - SAURON already has the ring

Thaaaaaaaaank you!! :)

Brave is better at beating Google's adblocking Adblocker tool .

I need help with 2 problems im having and im not sure if brave is causing them . i tried few things to fix them but im not sure if its my vm or os linux mint or brave. Im new to all 3 lol

Problem one . everytime i use the webpage my scrolling seems laggy/delayed .
Problem two. After watching a few videos i get a error ( this video file cannot be played ( error code 102630) the only fix i found for this was deleting history , cookies , cached files. Happens around the 300mb then i get the error . the auto clear cached files doesnt seem to work tho.

coiuld you please tell me how I can add multiple profiles to the dock, so that I can swap between different windows very easily on MacOS?

Why whenever I click something on some sites in Brave it redirects me to download a random VPN

WHY IS IT BLOCKING CHROME WEBSTORE????????????????? LIKE ITS ALL WHITE AND NOT LOADING?????????

Why my site isn't appearing in search result in Brave Browser..?

If you have problems with flickering and weird artifacts when moving your mouse around, try deactivating the hardware accleration. Had that problem on my laptop, now it´s gone.

I realize you are trying to cover lots of things but the talking is way too fast. Kept rewinding and taking photos of the screen but still very difficult to figure out your recommendations for the various settings, particularly since your screen shows different headings than what I just got when I downloaded Brave. Assuming there may have been some recent changes in their settings. Assume there is no way to get a transcript of the presentation.

really appreciate you taking the time and sharing your experience!

thank you so much for this guide , imho there are some things missing in your settings to make it even more secure and private! in setiing privacy and security switch off : upload daily userping to brave daily , sent diagnostic reports automatically and improve search suggestions. under site and shield settings switch off the following items : location : not allow sites to see your location - camera : do not allow sites to allow use your camera - microphone : do not allow sites to use your microphone.

next up type this code in the adres bar : brave://flags a page opens up and search for these prompts in the search tab on the right :

block screen fingerprinting
DISABLE :
brave news v2
brave news prompts on new tab page
brave news
ENABLE:
annonymize local ips exposed by webrtc
smooth scrolling
expermental quic protocol
block scripts via document write
tls post- quantum confidentiallity
block insecure private network requests
parallel downloading
strict origin isolation
block insecure downloads

Is it possible to add or use video assistant feature on brave?

No "No Script"? Otherwise, good video. Only Q is, isn't there a ton of duplication in the filter-lists, and doesn't that increase delay? Could be that I'm just rocking a T460 2/4 core lappy.

I have been using uBlock origin for over 4 years now but most people cry about ads showing and I have never seen anyone talk about uBlock origin. Great video! I am just switching to Brave too.

I don't understand why people wants to speak to fast on these videos just slow down so people can understand it better

I linked the wrong google profile to brave. How do I reset this?

Thanks for the great and short guide to Brave.
I got one question regarding a behavior that really annoys me.
The download bar is super FAT and I want to get rid of it, any idea how I could do that?

I do not a option to save to favourites I only see add to bookmarks. How do I enable the favourites? This is using the iPad application.

well done!

Thanks for the video! Quick question, does the ublock settings you suggested just hide the cookie consent forms or automatically block/reject them?

I just found you today 1/15/2023, thank you for being here, and I subscribed and range the bell.

How did you put bookmarks on top bar?

You forgot privacy Badger its a really good extension

Thanks a lot man!

If you don't want to use Tor the Brave with Tor is totally acceptable.... Yes it isn't as good as Tor but if you are just accessing an onion or helping your anon status some it works. If your doing illegal stuff then stop it.

Hey I see that there are lot more options here in my app can you make a updated video?

I tried duckduckgo as my default search engine for a few months and eventually gave up, I found myself going back to google way too often in order to get more relevant results.

I use Brave for all my google sign in and Firefox for all non google sites

Thanks for this Video setup 👍👍

How did you get to the page your working on?

using ipfs in brave is safe? and tor ?

cant upgrade why that?

duckduckgo and google are the same shit know.

Hi great video, one Q: why do you say that Braves tor browser doesnt work well and to download it separately?

I use windows 10 My brave is 10.42 I cannot get the menus bar on top.. Is there a way to do that.?

brave wallet system ( i mean the crypto farm if i understrand correctly ) is any good ? cause i see every1 disable it

Hey, quick question, is there a way to have more than 12 favourite pages on your "New Page"-Tab? That is the only thing that is a little bit annoying but besides than that I enjoy using Brave.

Hey Man😉Hi from Ireland lol... The new brave I.E the latest version as of 30/07/2022 is a little diff, but not much.. overall really liked your set up and I'm like you .. some Sites i I Visit, i do need to, take the fingerprinting down a grade and the ad blocking/trackers and then i just clear data once i leave .. love your set up Tho Man!!

I'd Love to here your opinion on WEB-RTC..?

( On brave & in short what setting is best for Privacy ) ... ( i think its used for video calls , which i don't use, )

giving you more info so you can better inform me , lol hopefully not too much lol

For me , I do not use any form of skype / zoom , Etc, so i have no need what so ever with it , but in short it can see everything your location / IP etc even with a VPN which i have..(Proton)
So i have my Web-rtc disabled ,, is this a bad thing..? it say's non proxy UDP..?

As I'm not 100% sure what WEB-RTC is all about🤷‍♂( its a lot of info to take in ) i just know it can see where you are your true IP & i think more..? idk tho,,
I'd Love to hear Your opinion on it ...
Subbed to your channel, first vid of yours iv seen really like it 👌Thanks again Bro!

Hi I am new here can you use Google to ask it stuff on brave like you can google because I am having alot problems with Google Chrome please let me know thanks

Until yesterday brave was working just fine... But now I'm seeing ads everywhere. I have shields up, block ads and trackers aggressively on and everything, but it just lists that it's blocking 0 ads and 0 trackers. I'm currently on the hunt for a new browser, unless someone knows how to fix this problem.

Please don't speak quickly to hurry through a tutorial that you create for audience to follow
