Brave users will now see fewer ads, and fewer broken sites. This is thanks to a new feature called procedural filtering we just rolled out to our browser’s built-in ad blocker on Android and desktop (iOS coming soon).

Brave on iOS has a new feature for quickly deleting browsing data that could track you. We call it the Shred button. Here's how it works…

Here's Bob Cole rightfully getting a standing ovation during his final game back in February 2019. #RIP

If you're an iPhone user in the EU, you'll be asked to pick a new default browser after you update to iOS 17.4 and open Safari. Choose Brave for the most private, convenient browsing experience possible! You can also set Brave as the default by going to Settings -> Safari.

This decision has stripped clubs of a powerful community outreach tool and removed meaningful support for Special Initiatives, all to protect a select few who do not want to answer any questions about their choices. I hope the NHL reconsiders in order to remain a leader in DEI.

It is we great sadness that we announce the passing of Rodion Amirov. Two years ago, Rodion was diagnosed with a brain tumour. From the moment he received the news, he refused to speak in the negative, determined to enjoy every day, facing it with the same positive attitude he showed during his hockey career. We will always remember his courage, his desire, his will, his smile, all of the great things about him. We’d like to thank his doctors, who took great care of him. We’d like to thank the Toronto Maple Leafs and his KHL - Salavat Yulayev Ufa team. Both did everything possible to help in any way, do whatever was necessary for Rodion and the Amirov family. And we’d like to thank hockey fans all over the world who sent notes of encouragement and best wishes over the past two years. They meant so much to the Amirov family.

If there is a path to the wrong decision and irrelevancy the NHL will find it.
From NHL Board of Governors: teams will not wear specialty jerseys in warmups next season. Also: Cap, Ottawa, Arizona and other topics. With Commissioner Gary Bettman here — sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/bettm…

The NHL’s decision to ban players from wearing specialty jerseys in pre-game warms up is gutless. Pride Night, Military Appreciation, Hockey Fights Cancer, Black History. 99% of players had no issues wearing a specialty jersey. Typical NHL, going 60 Miles per hour in reverse.

I'm not pretending to have all the answers, but I'm disappointed by the NHL's decision here. Feels like a step backwards. I get that there's some owners that maybe will never be swayed. But further dialogue and education should be the focus. Not giving it to the dissenting voices

iPad users watching YouTube through Brave can now select higher video quality options! You can even pick 4K if it's available! This change, included with the latest update (v1.46), is available for all regions and is enabled by default.

Classic Bettman. Whenever there's legitimate criticism of something he likes, he just tells us that there's super-secret fan feedback/polling that we can't see but that agrees with him.
Bettman says that digital dasherboard ad backlash is a “non-issue” because their polling indicates fans find games more watchable with those digital ads replacing physical ones.

The @NHL digital board ads have made hockey *physically* more difficult to watch on TV this season. Putting aside any philosophical concerns about commercialization, there are a number of *technical* reasons why it hurts your eyes to watch this. A THREAD … (1/n)

"Tonight, Borje has come home." 💙 A beautiful and well-deserved moment for Borje Salming, as the @MapleLeafs honoured him prior to tonight's game against Vancouver.

It’s shocking to me that we’ve got MPPs in power here in Ontario that think they deserve the $16,000 raise they gave themselves earlier this year but don’t think CUPE education workers deserve a raise of just $3.25 per hour so they can afford to put food on the table.

Can you imagine having $48.2 billion cash on hand and YET still thinking "ah yes, those House of Fun Casino ads will grow our bottom line, let's do it"

And then, a year later, while introducing iCloud/MobileMe Mail: "No ads. We build products that we want for ourselves, too, and we just don't want ads."
