Brave Default Setting Improvements #463

Open Shrinks99 opened 5 months ago

Shrinks99 commented 5 months ago

Context

Some of Brave's settings aren't good defaults for crawling.

User Story

As a user, I'd like my crawler's default settings to offer the best chances of success!

Thank you for doing this investigation! I agree that it'd be wise to tweak the default profile to fit user expectations a bit better.

We could also potentially have a selection of "base profiles" that users could extend from or ignore as they wish, e.g.:

  1. All Shields Disabled
  2. Webrecorder default
  3. Aggressive Ad + Cookie Blocking
