Cool this is nice! Just confirming, the image translation is only for OCR, right? I mean it doesn’t translate a photo of a menu in a restaurant or am I missing something?

Its just as open source as the other chromium based browsers

What are you talking about?

They also have very valid reasons for keeping the features that make the UI unique closed

What valid reason? The UI closed source is a terrible move. We have no idea what they added to the UI that can be pushing trackers, or even worse (You can’t verify there is no master keylogger / session stealer).

Youll find that parts of brave arent actually open source either, such as their built in AI or the build in crypto wallet.

What are you talking about? Brave is generally considered fully open source at the browser client level. The entire desktop/mobile browser client (including Shields, ad-blocking, anti-fingerprinting, Brave Rewards client-side logic, Leo AI client integration, etc.) is open source

For Android, Vanadium in GOS is a better option than Brave.

For computers, I have to say that this comment has some foundation. Why?

For general navigation (things that don’t require login): Use Mullvad Browser

For logins (things that don’t require total privacy and require better security: email, bank account, etc): For now use Brave (or Trivalent if you are using SecureBlue, or Ungoogled Chromium if you are techy savvy enough to keep the uBO extension working reliably)

With this premise, of privacy and security in PC, is difficult to outcome Brave for the later in terms of convenience.

Brave is open source, if you have a problem with something on it please bring it to us. The bloatware can be managed via settings (although very annoying and not sure when enshifitication will become unbearable).

For those recommending Vivaldi, Vivaldi is not completely open source. So, no, I can’t trust it.
