All great but the loading of the 1st page upon launching the app will take 5 seconds or so regardless of site and internet speed. This is applicable to PC version as well. Hope this can be improved. *UPDATE*: Need to disable some block lists to improve it. Hope Brave will optimise the loading and able to cater for more lists in future releases.

Every update seems to make it function worse. Was great when I first got it. Now it won't stay in dark mode page to page. Live videos always refresh themselves so you lose your place. Coming back to a video you paused usually refreshes and exits dark mode. Just super buggy. Still better than watching with ads though. Update: Bugging out worse now. Randomly closes pages. Videos auto play the next video even if you've left page and click on different video. It's a mess.

Browser is great, more comfortable than most browsers I have seen. But it randomly crashes with all its tabs, i have to keep fetching every tab from history every single time which is not so great. And there is a unique problem like the browser maintains two distinct sessions with two different sets of open tabs and the browser opens randomly with a set of tabs every week or so. I don't think this is a device specific problem, if it is so any tips on how to avoid it would be appreciated.

Hi Ajay, thanks for taking the time to right in. Have you enabled the multiple windows setting under -> appearance? I'm wondering if this is the cause.

Added a parallel downloading setting.
