'Brave' still completely useless
A year ago I tried the alleged "browser" called Brave. I wanted it to be good because I sympathized with Eich. Unfortunately Brave was completely useless. Wouldn't do any of the things that I expect from a browser, and blocked popups without any way to unblock.
This morning I'm trying to resolve one remaining fussy little error in courseware. One animation (out of several hundred) fails to show in FF, but runs fine in IE. So far I can't see the problem. Everything in the code looks the same as all the other animations that run properly in both browsers. Obviously something must be different, but it's not reaching my attention yet. (Sidenote: This is unusual... normally when there's a difference between FF and IE, the failure happens in IE.)
I decided to give Brave another try. Sometimes an extra variable helps to spot the problem. Surely they must have fixed some of their giant bugs.
Nope. Brave is still completely useless.
The ScormCloud LMS platform always runs lessons in a new window, which Brave sees as a Naughty Popup. You don't get the option of accepting popups. You're just locked out.
THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THIS BUG.
Looked through lots of online discussions, and all of them agree. There is no way to allow popups, even for ordinary WORK applications.
Why do they continue developing a "browser" that can't be used?
I guess it's the same thing as Tesla, a "car" that can't be driven, or Bitcoin, a "currency" that can't be spent, or Windows 10, an "operating system" that prevents you from operating your computer. Stock fraud.
