On moving paths on the same machine, both Opera and Chrome preserved passwords, extensions, and extension data. Installed a single note taking extension in each with a single note. I just setup the current releases of Opera Portable and Chrome Portable as clean installs on a Windows 7 machine. You are dumping on it so much it seems like a personal vendetta. It's a fantastic browser and it has a modern approach. I would never have known it was beta if it didn't tell me. Come to think of it their Linux version is a bit different from their MS version. It doesn't look or behave the same as their Microsoft version. With Firefox on Android version there is a lot be desired. The Android version is just like the Microsoft and Linux version. It runs on Android, Linux, Microsoft and Mac. It is beta but never-less it hasn't crashed or stalled on my computers. Using a simple process monitor such as task manager you can see that Brave uses less resources than Firefox or Chromium even when it has more windows open and even when those windows have multi media content on them. I didn't do a test but it is so markedly different I didn't bother. Brave is faster than Firefox or Chromium. Passwords are not locked to a single computer and extensions do not get lost.

You said: 'Passwords are locked to a single PC, extensions routinely get lost' So I put Chromium and just for kicks Opera on a USB stick and tried them on three different computers. As of 2016, it is currently in version 0.8, and is in beta testing for iOS, Android, Windows, OS X, and Linux.

Brave intends to keep 15% of ad revenue for itself, pay content publishers 55%, ad partners 15% and also give 15% to the browser users, who can in turn donate to bloggers and other providers of web content through micropayments. The browser also strives to improve online privacy by sharing less data with advertising customers, instead targeting web ads through analysis of users' anonymized browsing history. It aims to block website trackers and remove intrusive internet advertisements, replacing them with ads sold by Eich's company.
