It's the continuation of the Qupzilla browser, uses the qtWebEngine so the rendering is on-par with Chrome, but it's privacy oriented. It is also very fast, but lacks debug tools :/
Yes. Brave is bazed on the netscape/mozilla engine, both are fairly speedy and brave tried to solve the ad problem by incentivizing people to pay, rather than just filter the ads.
It does filter ads, even if you don't pay, but they don't see that as a sustainable solution. I agree BAT isn't cutting it, but BTC fees weren't compatible :)
Agree. Though I think Moneybutton would be better if it could display a QR code as a fallback. It's burdensome to have an extra seed to store just to use MoneyButton.
