It feels and looks super clunky on my desktop, but so smooth on mobile. It's usually totally the opposite for these sorts of things.
It's probably because the iOS version is a skin over the Apple WebKit browser because Aplle doesn't allow any other browsers on their platform, even iOS Chrome is just a WebKit reskin.

I don't use iOS? It's great on Android.

I've been using both desktop and mobile for a while. I agree that the mobile browser is nearly perfect. I just wish Apple allowed it to be set as the default browser on iOS. I've been using the desktop version for almost a year now. It is usually very smooth, but the last update -- as they moved into their BAT Mercury phase -- seemed to break a few things and it does feel more clunky. Hopefully they will fix it soon. Overall, I really like the desktop browser. I like that all the privacy features are built into the browser and aren't extensions. With any new browser, it takes a little while to get used to.
I'm really intrigued by the new advertising/publishing model they are trying to push with the Brave browser and BAT (https://basicattentiontoken.org/). They are still very early in development, but it could really change how things are done on the web. Right now, I think it has great utility for sites like this one, Voat, and bloggers/YouTubers who have found themselves cut off from funding due to being non-politically correct. You can donate BAT directly from the browser and do it anonymously.
