I was hoping for some sort of sidebar instead of the little popup menu for the Dissenter comments (that reloads from scratch each time it's closed, losing your place).

After 30 seconds I just went back to Brave.

Windows screamed that it was an unknown program and not to run it. NO!! NO!! DON'T RUN IT!!

I ran it. 😈

Doesn't seem that bad but I'm stay with Brave for now.

To answer @virge, yes, I had the same popup. SmartScreen blocks the execution of the executable since it doesn't recognize it. Right click on the file and go to properties, at the bottom, activate the "unblock" option.

It does mean that windows will send a request over the internet for each executable you run to see if it a known malware. SmartScreen can be disabled: https://www.howtogeek.com/75356/how-to-turn-off-or-disable-the-smartscreen-filter-in-windows-8/

I run many new executable programs all the time and I never get this pop up. Just seems extremely suspicious to me that I all of a sudden get it for Dissenter.
