Brave Nightly has been pretty good

I was afraid that I would be updating it everyday, but it doesn’t do that. Often it will go days without updating, and that is similar behavior to the Stable build.

Now there are imperfections. Yesterday when I was watching YouTube and scrolling it started to freeze the window. Minimizing the browser window and then maximizing fixed it. Its not a big deal and I feel good having the latest updates and being secure against the latest exploits.

The performance has been as good or better than the stable version. Things respond instantly and for the most part I don’t notice a difference. The hardest thing has been to remember to click the purple icon rather then the red one.

Does it make sense for the average person to sign up for bleeding edge software? Probably not. Most people don’t enjoy learning from problems and something being built will have more problems. I don’t mind this however.

To compare and contrast I used to be a Windows Insider and get the latest builds and so on. That was a worse experience. I had all kinds of issues and that wasn’t fun at all. I stopped doing that and my life got much easier. I tend to get updates as soon as they are possible. They usually have important security fixes. By living this way, it has been decades since I have had a computer virus/problem.

However even if I do get one, everything is online and safe. You prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
