Pros: Does everything you want from a browser if you've changed from Mozilla or Chrome. No ads and you can transfer all info from those other browsers to Dissenter.
Cons: Wish the search engine DuckDuckGo was a bit better but it works just fine.

It's fast! no tracking, Dissenter comment section is included.

none

Brave was a great concept and product, but now a new steward is better positioned to realize the original goals.
Pros:
Foundation on protecting free speech and user choice, fast browser with no bullshit included.
Cons:
It's new, not yet signed on Windows or Mac, no auto-update, but it will get there.

Dissenter is a Chromium-based browser forked from Brave. It removes additional Google telemetry Brave hasn’t yet, along with the friendly-only-to-certain-advertisers BAT “utility token”. In its place Gab is adding additional measures against censorship, Chinese-style “social currency” oppression, unpersoning attacks, and literal psychological manipulation by big tech outlets who’ve admitted to doing these things in the press. Dissenter is about you having the power to speak your mind, use the extensions you want, see the content you want, and support the creators you want.
Open debate is required as a prerequisite to a free and educated society, and more and more today open debate is being quashed by Commercial and political interests who believe they are somehow better positioned to judge what information you should have access to, or be allowed to express, than you are. Dissenter exists to keep them from doing it. And it happens to work pretty well as web browsers go besides.
Pros:
Built-in privacy, adblock, will use BTC to let you contribute to creators, Dissenter “comment section” on every page
Cons:
Source not yet public, nothing like Firefox Multiple Account Containers (yet)

Source is public on GitHub, gab-ai-inc/defiant-* repos.

All you need to know is to get it. It doesn't matter who you are, it's not catered to anyone. It's a platform that you want to get started on as it won't just turn around one day and decide you're not allowed to exist. Its TOS is based on US law, not the whims of an out of touch and too powerful CEO.
Pros:
Works flawlessly, blocks ads, no corporate or advertiser influence, free speech.
Cons:
Its improving all the time and at this point I know of no other service that bases itself in free speech like Dissenter.

As Chrome and Firefox have become more and more restricted silos, it become more and more important to have a browser controlled by the user, not by big tech.
The Dissenter browser is being built with privacy and censorship protection methods as a key focus, which I hope will make it a very strong tool for people who believe these things are important. Like any such tool, it’s going to be abused, but I know first-hand that many times more will be abused without it.
As it stands Dissenter Browser is lighter than Chrome. It is lighter than Firefox as well unless you use Firefox Multiple Account Containers. The Dissenter equivalent from Chrome is multiple user profiles. This rapidly multiplies the resource usage of the browser. This is a useful enough feature that I expect it will happen someday, but it’s not there yet and the workaround is a little clunky.
The only real con I see so far is that Gab doesn’t appear to be sharing their code with the world yet. Hopefully will change soon.
Everyone needs to use it. You will have absolutely no regrets.
