For me the reasons for using brave for over an year now are: - no ads, no trackers and they are transparent about it - I can install chrome extensions - I don’t feel like I am handing all my data to Google - overall feels faster even with dozens for tabs open

I get that and it makes sense. What distinguishing features does it have that keeps you coming back to Brave that, say, Edge or Chrome or even Firefox doesn't bring? I ask because most of the items you listed could be accomplished in other browsers with extensions.

Just trying to find the secret sauce that keeps people coming back specifically to Brave.

I really appreciate you engaging and listing your reasons! Thank you for sharing your viewpoint and why you enjoy Brave.

Having functionality in extensions adds friction. You'll have to remember which ones you used and install them separately when you do a new install. Also remember that Android and iOS browsers (usually) don't have extensions, so having adblock built-in is advantageous.

I am the author of Passpie and one of my goals with passpie was that it should be as configurable as possible. Pass(http://www.passwordstore.org) is a great and mature cli application and as with any great applications there are alternatives.

History (undo/redo) is planned on passpie, probably using git as well.

Some ideas are: passpie history --list passpie history --undo XYZ passpie history --redo ABC passpie history --backend git --redo 123 passpie history --sync

You may like pass you may like passpie you may like both. :)
