We’ve been following the threads and if we caught the news today of Chrome 108 being the first of the Chromium derivatives to release its monthly update, Brave 1.46 It will be the latter, although the focus of its news is on a different site: Brave News.

And what is Brave News, you ask? This is the news section that the browser incorporates into its new tab, one in the style of Google Discover, but with sources selected by the user and respecting their privacy. In fact, Brave insists on this: The message recommendation algorithm is open source and runs locally on the device, no data ever leaves the browser outside.

This new version of Brave revolves around Brave News, yes, including expanding the customization options for this feature as well as expanding localization support. In other words, Brave News is already adapted to Spainin addition to other countries such as Mexico, Canada, Brazil or the United Kingdom, which means that many sites have been added that can be watched with just one click.

However, the pre-selection of prominent places or resources is average, very mainstream around big digital media and leaves a bit to be desired in that regard, though there is MuyComputerwhich never hurts (!) and there’s always the option, whichever way you look at it, to add your own feeds by domain or via RSS, although Brave doesn’t replace the functionality of an RSS client.

Brave News, at least its search engine, is now powered by Brave Search, the homegrown service we talked about yesterday due to the introduction of ads and a premium plan.

In future versions, you will be able to add your feeds to Brave News with just a few clicks

Speaking of ads, perhaps the worst thing about Brave News is that it has its own ads, an unwanted nuisance that you can get rid of. removing all non-connectable resources. Then you gradually add the ones you want and the ad doesn’t seem to reappear, although we can’t guarantee if it’s completely fixed or not. There is no clear way to disable it at this time.

In addition, Brave will allow feeds to be added to Brave News via an RSS feed in the address bar when visiting a supported website. However, this feature has not yet been extended to most browser users, it will arrive soon.
