Brave was really great when I got it, but a lot of sites are defeating it. I need to use ad and flash blockers because I only have 15GB a month of data. No way am I going to sign up all over the place to just read articles.

That's weird.. I work on computer all day every business day so I'm always on internet, switching to Chrome (for my work) and Brave (for personal use). I rarely encounter websites that could work around Brave settings.. Did you leave Brave Shield on all the times? It is what that prevents the ads and tracking.

Matty - if you are reading this, apply to have this forum verified by Brave and then I (and whoever else use Brave) will be able to send you BAT tokens which can be converted to cash on your end. It will be much easier than going to donate and paypal links.

Not sure of my Brave settings. I usually use Firefox, but if go to a link someone has posted and it won't let me in without turning off my ad blocker I will open Brave and copy and paste the link in the address bar and see if I can get in. That probably works 85% of the time, the other 15% it still tells me to turn off my ad blocker. Brave used to work 100% of the time. For the record I have Windows 7 Pro and I have never checked for Brave updates since I down loaded it and it could of been a year.

That could be the reason, but I don't know for sure. I know computers but I'm not whiz with it. Brave has made some updates in the last several months.. I hope you will eventually find a way to work around the NFL ads, I know how annoying it can be.

Don't want to hijack this thread so back to NFL - I think the contract is well deserved for McCaffrey and Panthers definitely will not regret it. It will be interesting to see how much McCaffrey will get in his second contract, he will be 29 years old (assuming Panthers pick up the 5th year option).

At the rate they're using him he'll be toast by the time he's due for another deal

Virtual Offseason Approved!

https://www.redskins.com/news/redski...Bvn9TfCPw-0Nqk

Washington Redskins players might soon be able to meet with their new coaches -- remotely.

The NFL and the players union reached an agreement Monday to conduct a voluntary virtual offseason, starting as soon as April 20. That means that even though players and teams can't meet in person due to the coronavirus pandemic, teams can be in contact with their players and begin distributing offseason materials, if they choose.

It isn't just the annoyance it is the data consumed, especially if I get a video running that I don't catch. I could never defeat the Bright Cove player on ESPN, all I have been able to do messing with my PC settings is to mute it. Now it is liked I chopped the tail off the rattlesnake. I only get 15 GB a month and then I get slowed to 600 kpbs. Quite a few websites don't function well at that speed. ESPN loads really slow or incomplete. Most people probably use 15 GB in a day.

That must be really challenging..

For sure, unless they draft another RB to give McCaffrey some break sometimes.
