Lucas and I on the Nov of 2017 got into an in-depth discussion about an enterprise version. To deuce my level of thinking of the product, this is what I called it -
Naturally there was a lot of work-on, everybody was busy and there wasnāt as greater (quantitative) number of employees, not to mention the Muon version was destined to be deprecated.
I understand the official stable release of Brave-Core is still relatively new but in contrast to Brave-Muon, the number of issues now is significantly lower than it was. I also recall the team magnificently once fixed 500 issues in a month for one release. Five-hundred! Taking this into account and the number of issues currently in Github, theoretically speaking the team could fix all of Brave-Coreās list of issues wihthin 2-3 months
So firstly I wanted to ascertain, could Brave start the development of the enterprise version sometime this year?
Secondly, I imagine most of the team can technically achieve this but I was curious wouldnāt it be a good idea to post the job in your careers sections for development and delivering of the enterprise release?
Finally, I still stand by most of my recommendations in the original topic about removing/adjusting many components in Brave by making it lighter and more efficient and how this would be greatly beneficial for other enterprises and SMBs, even as a beta, so it would be brilliant if the team could peruse it once resources are a bit more flexible.
Sorry if I came across as derogatory to any current team members and thanks.
I would like to see something like this as well. Also see another similar post here.
Braveās consumer-facing production build wonāt work for most enterprise environments due to two things: the crypto wallet and Tor integration. Brave should release an enterprise version that has those features removed.
Of course Brave wants (needs) people to use the wallets and exchange in BAT as a currency in order to succeed, so taking that out seems counter-intuitive, but remember that millions of enterprise users means free advertising for those same people to install the consumer version on their personal computers and smart phones. So Brave creating an enterprise version and marketing it to CIOās could reap big benefits in growing the user pool.
This is my 1st post. I started to use Brave in 2021 and I love it.
I work for a large Enterprise supporting Citrix Technology. One of the painful applications we need to install and deploy via Citrix Virtual Apps (XenApp) is a Web browser.
As you know IE11 is dead, and many websites do not work well with IE11 these days. We are even getting requests from our users to change to something better than IE11.
In the Citrix environment, we need a new modern lightweight browser:
Easy to install silently and upgrade:
In our environment, we build a new image every month for the Citrix servers.
Thus, a requirement for us is to use software that can be installed silently using the command line.
Simple to configure and maintain settings:
In many larger companies, Microsoft Group Policies are used for configuring Computer and User settings.
But, in many cases (like ours) it is painful to work with the Active Directory Team, and it is avoided because we cannot control our own GPOs.
Thus, in these cases, it will be preferable to be able to configure an XML or JSON type file with Computer and User settings that can be used during the installation of updated over time on existing systems.
While I am at it, why not have a GUI to configure these settings and create the appropriate file(s)?
User Profiles are not bloated with lots of files and registry keys:
In the Citrix environment, we use many profile type solutions to capture and save the user settings.
In many cases the user settings are written to a central share when the user sign-out (session is closed) to make the application āroam-ableā. Thus these files and registry keys needs to be minimal to make the process work fast.
In some cases, we use Mandatory profiles (settings are discarded when user logout). So, we bake all the user settings into the NTUSER.MAN file.
There are also Microsoft UE-V that can be used to set and captures settings (works like a template).
Many other solutionsā¦, bottom line: keep settings small and manageable.
What is in it for Brave?
If Brave can produce an Enterprise version (or the ability to disable non-Enterprise features), I can see a win-win scenario:
Brave will get exposure into a world that they currently have no or small footprint.
The Citrix community will adopt a modern lightweight browser quickly if it can solve the problems we have supporting other browsers.
Our users will notice the browser they are using in the office and most probably also install that at home, especially it is works well, is fast, and do all the other Brave stuff.
I hope the Brave Team can give this request / suggestion some thought.
