I would imagine that on a steady pull, most braids do break over their rated strength.
BUT--since they have no stretch, they'll break easier than mono of the same pound test if you give them a snap or a jerk.
Case in point---when I jigged the Canal with 30 # mono, there were times I had to climb to the service road and walk a hundred feet before it snapped. I gave up spooling with 40# because there were times I had to either cut it or wrap it around the reel handle to break off. With 50# braid, all I have to do is reel as tight as I can, point the tip straight at the snag and give it a couple of sharp jerks.
