I have had a few times where I wanted to initiate a download and the site wanted to download multiple parts. (NOTE This is relevant to an issue you discussed in a recent SN episode. Or I can add the site in this subsection.) An icon pops up on the toolbar which I can click and allow sound when I want to. (NOTE the language is confusing as the slider switch on this screen is off while muting is active. (I am very reluctant to allow this permission when asked.) Also, a banner periodically pops up in Brave that says flash support will be ending.) (NOTE The screen says flash settings will be kept until you quit Brave. The noscript interface makes it easier to add various sites to the trust list.) Sometimes I run sites that break in firefox instead rather than fiddling around here. Unless I add scripting either via the lion icon in the toolbar, or in this subsection, scripts are blocked. In such cases, I may go over to firefox and look at noscript, which I still run, to see what other domains might need approval. In some cases, some sites still break even after the main domain is approved. However, only the main site is allowed when I approve it. On a site by site basis, I click the lion icon in the toolbar and allow scripts if I want to, similar to the way noscript works.

If you haven't delved into the Brave / Chrome settings, or haven't done so for Firefox lately, you should. My extensions in Brave are Privacy Badger, Ublock Origin, Ublock Origin Extra, Tabs Outliner, Lastpass, and H246ify (forces H264 playback on YouTube and optionally forces 30 FPS for lower CPU usage). Every time Brave / Chrome updates, they tend to add things, so I have to go through the settings again. Therefore, I have to reset a whole bunch of stuff. The default Firefox and Brave and presumably Chrome settings are WAY too promiscuous. The answer is NO, NO, NO unless I have a reason to allow it. Site wants to install "protocols" or "handlers" - NO. Sites wants to access any parts of my PC - NO. Site wants to run third party scripts - NO. Site wants to runs scripts - NO unless I really trust them. If I don't use it, or know what it is, I turn it off. In some cases, I don't even know what the functions mean. They will BLOW your mind at how much the browser is trying to access or do behind your back. They ALWAYS do stuff wrong.īelow you will find comprehensive documentation on around 65 settings in Brave that I have reviewed and, in MANY cases, set differently. I am a firm believer in going through EVERY setting in a software program when installing or updating, to see what they've done or set wrong from a security or privacy point of view. I want web apps to be the MOST restricted things on my PC, not the least restricted. That is a really, REALLY, * REALLY! * bad idea. As mentioned on the podcast, Chrome now wants to run just like an app on your PC. ![]()
