Downsides to the Brave RSS Reader
I adore Brave’s RSS reader, but it’s like a sock drawer exploded with news. No organization, just a jumbled mess of feeds. Sure, I can isolate sources with a click, but a little order would be heavenly.
Brave confronts the internet’s biggest annoyance head-on: ads. But these aren’t the creepy, data-guzzling ads you’re used to. Think of them as polite interruptions in your feed, clearly marked and respecting your privacy. Honestly, I was surprised. After diving deep into a sea of content, I only encountered a small handful. It’s a breath of fresh air.
Brave News is chained to my desktop. I love its streamlined interface there, but the mobile experience is a lonely one. The kicker? No syncing. It’s a frustrating disconnect.
The mobile app, while handy, throws a curveball: pinpointing specific sources feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. Forget instant teleportation; you’re stuck scrolling through an endless feed. Juggling more than a few sources? Prepare for thumb-workout worthy navigation.
