#4 Highly recommend Brave. Breaks some sites, but you can turn off protection to use them if needed.

#7 Been using Brave since it first became available. Generally I like it and it's privacy tools, though I have to wonder, if you're that concerned about privacy, why would you base the browser on Google Chrome?

#8 Works on Rantburg just fine!

Also it blocks the stupid YouTube ads 99.9% of the time. The ones it does is a simple frame with a "Skip Ad".

#9 I loathe Bing something awful.

I use Firefox only to avoid Chrome, IE, and Bing, but I wasn't aware of Brave. It sounds fantastic! And to support a good product founded by someone forced out by PC bovine egesta, then all the better.

Thanks for the tip.

#10 I really don't like firefox and ever since adblocker died, just disliked it. And I use Brave even though it's born from Chrome because I've tried to use Opera and others and they just suck. I LOATHE microsoft's browser and really like brave. I use it on phone and computer. I also have duckduckgo's browser on my tablet but it's not as easy to use.

#11 Writing this from Brave. I'll probably need to tinker with it a bit, but so far, so good.

I used to use Startpage search engine but now I use "Duck".

Someone told me, I think, that Firefox went down hill after they either got bought out or just some annoying change, I can't remember.

Remember Netscape?
