Disable "WebTorrent", "Hangouts", and "IPFS Companion" if you don't use these.
You can check the "block scripts" setting as well to block scripts from running by default but that will lead to breakage and you having to create overrides for sites that don't work properly if JavaScript is disabled. Note that the feature is not as advanced as the blocking of scripts by NoScript or uMatrix.
Shields - Brave's Shields feature blocks trackers and advertisement by default.Appearance - Enable "use wide address bar" to give the address bar a bit more room.Get Started - I prefer to load the previous session (Continue where you left off) but you may speed up the start of the browser by selecting "open the new tab page" or "open a specific page or set of pages".The settings are divided into a main and an advanced part, and it is a good idea to check them from top to bottom after initial installation. You can access the Brave Settings from the main menu or by loading chrome://settings/ directly. (Of course, we conversely did a bad job of presenting this fact in the UI, so it looks like you can change it in settings but that doesn’t work.Tip: My Experience with the mobile version of Brave on Android. The issue is not exactly that scripts can’t be blocked (they can be, in the shields panel) rather it’s that we kind of did too good a job preventing anything from being persistent in private windows with Tor, and that includes settings, so it won’t remember the setting that you want scripts blocked the next time you restart the browser. It’s a big security issue and it actually makes me very angry by now how long this reckless situation has been going on with Brave and accepted without even implementing as much as a simple warning message for users. Whenever you load a site, it does so with scripts enabled, first-party cookies & fingerprinting enabled.
