If you're still using Google's Chrome browser to surf the internet, you're not alone. Billions of people have downloaded the app around the world and use it on a daily basis. But that doesn't mean it's the best option, particularly for privacy. Here are the alternatives you can use.

What's you're browser setup and why? Leave a comment here, and if you're looking for the best overall alternative to Chrome, I recommend Brave (it's free, this is not sponsored): www.brave.com
I can’t get enough of the Brave browser. It’s also important to note how Brave generates revenue. They also show ads, but they are not targeted and the user can choose how many ads are allowed to show per hour. However, the more ads you allow, the more revenue Brave passes onto you as crypto currency. It’s honestly the coolest piece of software I daily drive.
Brave is my main browser, but on iOS I’m now using Orion which is like Brave is to Chrome. It’s based on Safari with apple stuff removed. There is a macOS version of Orion but I’ve had some issues with it so still use Brave there for now.
Brave for me, it took a lot to wean me off Opera but now I rarely use it, I'm not very knowledgable but I trust Brave 100% so far.
Brave is no better than Chrome or ANY Chromium alternative.
@@ShizuneHakamichi not true. Brave has ties to Google removed. Also blocks some ads and pop ups on install by default. Latest version also will auto answer the “do you want to accept cookies for this site” if you chose for it to do so. So no, while Brave is built off of Chromium, it’s not the same, and offers better protection out of the box. Is it perfect, no, but it’s safer to use than Chrome for the average user
Thanks for the heads up. I've been lazy about switching from chrome for a while now but this was a good reminder to get it done sooner than later. I'm not really super paranoid about the info Google has on me but I don't like the idea of relying on one company for EVERYTHING in my life.
Great point. Hopefully you saw how quick and easy the switch was.
I moved to edge after exclusively using Chrome for two years,most of life used Firefox & internet explorer
Used netscape before Firefox & XP era when internet explorer used to hang up pc
@@dinozaurpickupline4221
I don’t know if Edge was the best pick. It’s like Google Chrome, but instead of Google it’s Microsoft Chrome, in my opinion.
@@luhgarlicbread I'm using edge beacause a particular add on ain't working on ff
@@luhgarlicbread i personally use edge because its chrome but faster, more secure and more customisable. you really cant go wrong with edge.
Glad i found your Channel !!! I've been upgrading my privacy and security on my computer lately and am learning to use Linux for that reason. BTW I use librewolf or TOR
I currently use Firefox and Chrome, depending on what I'm doing. I have long wanted to cut back on or eliminate Chrome, so I found this video very helpful. Thank-you.
I'm glad to hear it, Mark. Thanks.
I’ve been using Firefox almost exclusively since forever and never thought of switching to Chrome. Although I love the Google Suite and can’t imagine work without it.
I started using Brave a couple of days ago after watching one of your videos. Do you know "Orion" browser and if what do you think of it?
I use firefox brave vivaldi and edge. I just like how each browser looks and vivaldi has some of the best customization with themes or any browser I have used but I use firefox as my main browser to just support them in the browser market and firefox is a really good browser now it is slightly slower than brave and edge but I can deal with that.
Hey Josh, I'm using 1Password like you suggest. It only shows a chrome extension on my account under the downloads page. What do you suggest?
Also, is the only reason to switch from chrome is cuz 'big brother' is watching? Or are there any security risks associated as well?
Thanks :)
This channel is a godsend. I *just* found it and I was thinking this morning about switching to a different browser. Then I check and-bam! This video was uploaded 30 minutes ago!
Awesome...thanks!
Don't listen to this video honestly. Everything except Firefox and Safari are based on Chromium. As such, if you're intending on switching off Chrome, the only options are those two.
@@LunarUmi Ooh thanks for the tip. Are Chromium-based browsers bad? I tried Firefox and it was super slow
@@zigzagintrusion There are two main reasons I'm starting to move away from anything Google in my life. Firstly, privacy. It's become more and more apparent that the most important thing to Google is user metrics and selling that data. So if you care about your internet footprint even a little, I'd recommend looking else where. Second, this is conjecture on my part, but I'd imagine that most of Google's profits are coming from ad revenue, and as such, they're starting to push towards an internet that has a ton of ads. I.E, look into Manifest V3, which is set to come out in January. In essence, they're heavily kneecapping the support for ad blockers and add-on support in general. Which, to me are absolutely vital to traverse the web at all at this point. That's why the only options are Firefox and Safari, because all other browsers are about to lose a significant amount of control with the reduction of developer functions in the new Manifest V3 landscape. Not just for ad blockers.
I'm interested to hear that you found Firefox was slow! As a developer that cares a lot about getting the best experience, I just switched over a couple of months ago, and I've been monitoring my performance with it, and I've only been *more* happy with it than Chrome. I've found that generally the RAM usage is reduced, and everything feels more snappy. I would have this terrible thing with Chrome where once the browser was running for about a week, scrolling through a webpage would have massive framerate lag. That hasn't happened with Firefox yet.
@@LunarUmi Yeah, Google products have been turning me off more and more.
Admittedly, I did not use Firefox for very long, but webpages took a few seconds longer to load than Chrome. A few seconds isn't a lot, but I am super impatient so it was bothering me. One of the main reasons I disliked Firefox was because certain websites didn't function properly. The only example I can think of right now is Reddit, and to be fair, I think that's an issue on Reddit's part, but it was still a bit annoying. After reading your comment, I think I'll go ahead and try it again. Maybe my internet was just having a bad day.
My main browser has always been Firefox and then Brave, this was infromative and helped me feel better. Firefox has its quirks but after using it since inception i don't think i will change, it works and i am better for it.
I use Firefox and Brave and they are both faster than Chrome and use much less resources of my system. Not to mention much MUCH better privacy with Firefox.
In my experience, Firefox is still pretty resource-intensive.
I use Nexus
On what planet is Firefox & Brave are "faster" than Chrome? 🐸
You can say they're "fast". But not faster than chrome.
I have a 2GB/s internet connection and if you only care about speed, chrome is still the king.
I use Firefox too
Android defeated fire fox making it useless.
For my laptop, I mainly use Brave now and sometimes Firefox. As for my phones, I still use Samsung's Internet browser with an adblocker but I also have Duckduckgo.
How does Brave handle extensions? Will all/most of my add-ins (Lastpass, AdBlock Office etc) still work? Or am I giving up those conveniences for increased security?
I'm a regular Firefox user, but for websites that don't work in Firefox, I use MS Edge as my Chromium browser. I have a variety of adblock and tracker-block extensions on both.
Hi Josh, have you looked into Arc Browser by The Browser Company?
I've been using it for over a month now and I love it.
Nice, shouting out Naomi and Techlore! I use Brave on all my devices, and it has been great!
Both awesome channels!
Who are Naomi and Techlore.
🙂
On Mac and on Phone it is Duck Duck Go (Because of ad and tracker blockers and most of the common Web API allowed in chrome will not even work in Duck Duck Go), on Windows, it is Brave (because no version of Duck Duck Go on Windows found).
I'm currently using Chromium as my default browser. There is nothing much to say about it, but when it comes to privacy or something related, I just wanna say that remember to learn how to browse safely aswell, not just rely on other browsers that said to be "Secure, Effective, Private or Ditching Big Tech". You can definitely do something to improve your browsing experience like installing essential extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger, just notice that only "changing browser" doesn't really change that much.
Changing your browser is just the first step for sure. But it makes a bigger difference than you might realize.
I'm switching to chrome because it will be removing ad blockers really soon.
@@Jdogg4089 for me that would be a reason to quit chrome
I don't use chrome, but that's one thing people don't get. Your stuff is only as safe as you allow it to be. Your house can have all of the security features in the world, but if you're just leaving your doors or windows open, it isn't the house's fault. You brought a good point up 👍🏻
@@Jdogg4089 you from chrome
One thing I need that Chrome has is the ability to see my other devices history from any of my devices. This allows me to move seamlessly between my phone(s) and computer(s). Yes I have multiple of both. Are the other browsers that can do that? I have not seen a way to do that with other browsers.
I remember testing speed of Opera Edge and Firefox compared to chrome and i was surprised that all of them were better and edge had very stable speed
Edit: the difference were just around 10-80kb/s on avarage and 2yr ago
these days opera is crap
Brave has been caught redirecting website addresses so that they can insert their own affiliate code. You gotta hand it to them. Promoting yourself as a security company whilst hijacking your user's browser is some scam.
I mainly use Firefox for multi container feature and privacy, and sometimes use brave for speed and compatibility. I wish I could use only Firefox for everything, but Firefox sometimes glitches and stops working on a few websites.
I think is because of gecko engine
@@vlahorius probably it is.
Brave is great, however it consumes more RAM, even with the same number of tabs open in other browsers. Apart on that, it is really fast. Congratulations for your excellent content!
Do you have 1 GB RAM?
Literalmente, solo con abrir 4 pestañas de UA-cam consume aproximadamente 2 GB de RAM. Aunque, depende del procesador, el cual dilimita dicho apartado.
@@arkvsi8142 i have 8gb ram and a few times chrome took up 5gb ram randomly which caused my computer to freeze up
Great video, I have been using Firefox as a default for years with Brave as a backup. Recently I reinstalled Chrome, (NOT default) back because the family wanted to do a video chat on Facebook Messenger on my laptop so we could all fit in the video frame vs a phone...the only browsers that supports this feature are Chrome, MS Edge and Opera....try a VPN with no logging also, but be careful which one you choose!
Exactly. Thanks for sharing, Rick!
At work, I use Edge, with several profiles, one for each of my "identities", plus one for my regular work identity.
I also tend to use two computers used thru either a KVM, or a switch. For personal stuff, I use the other computer. Even then, I use edge, with different identities for different purposes.
I tend to use Safari with the Wipr extension installed. I would use Brave more often but Safari is familiar and too easy on Mac. I have dabbled with hardened Firefox but have some issues with the company. Edge for my work but I'm not so concerned about privacy on that. But I still have to fire up Chrome, occasionally.
I stopped using chrome ages ago as my main browser, I now use Vivaldi. I like the setup, syncing of tabs & settings etc and I can have my tabs down the side rather than along the top. Few videos like this one I've seen never seem to mention the browser... not sure why. not looked at brave, so might give that a gander.
I use Brave, including different profiles (they act like separate browsers) for specific projects with it's own settings and extensions.
Many of us seniors have old windows 7 pc's that do not support Win 10, and we cannot afford to buy a new pc. I heard that Firefox will extend there support of win 7 pc's. Is that true, and if not, can I just continue the use the final Firefox release with the final win 7 release?
I just changed my browser to Brave because of this video. I like it a lot. I just want to know if the password manager is secure?
Josh - keep in mind that many of your subscribers use only mobile phones. The android version of Brave will not import bookmarks at all. I haven't found a way to add extensions such as the DRM extension either. Any ideas?
The iPhone version supports the Brave sync code.. are you saying Android doesn’t?
That's not true at all. I use Brave on my Android phone and there is an option in setting to sync with your pc browser
@@zapeleon I just looked again and I didn't find it. Can you tell me where to look and what exactly it's called?
I'm using Brave 1.45.127 and Android 12 on a Samsung Galaxy A42
You can first sync with desktop browser and then links or sync brave pc and mobile through cloud.
Is it really advisable to use Avast Browser? Been using it for about a solid year as of far. But I don't really know if it's the best option. But I still consider it is, think it's a good.. or no?
I switched to Firefox about half a year ago and i just love it. Firefox Sync is very useful and there are plenty of great add-ons, and the newly implemented Enhanced Tracking Protection is also great. And after all Mozilla is a reputable community/non-profit company that promotes an open and secure web.
I use swisscows which runs over chrome on my iMac but runs on its own on my android phone, do you think that is very secure?
I use Firefox as main browser and brave as secondary. Firefox has some great features like containers. Using containers I can log in to UA-cam in a container without Google being able to access anything outside that container. When I go to Google outside the UA-cam container I won't be logged in.
Great point. I do like the Firefox containers feature.
unfortunately, im force to used chrome since the other browser keeps signing me out of my accounts and google thinks is suspicious and locks my account i have no vpn enabled
Librewolf for windows
Brave/Firefox for Android
And yes... That includes losing data syncing capability between devices but i think not syncing the browser would be a good privacy practice and if you really care about your privacy and don't want to lose syncing in both browser then you better host your own passwords, bookmarks, history and other stuff.
Librewolf is amazing, but Brave being chromium kinda run everything internet has... chromium is kinda of standard, sadly, for many sites
I agree - I don't think data syncing is that important. I wouldn't be hosting my passwords with my browser anyway.
What about that Chome Flag Experiment thing? Does Changing settings there do any help in general?
I’m not familiar with that, honestly.
love brave but the last time used it which is a month or so ago it became slow to almost unresponsive. i tried looking for solutions in forums and other places but there seems to be none yet. found a lot of other users with the same problem and they also came to a dead end. so i had to look for another browser
Same for me too. Switched to Yandex browser and Firefox.
I use Orion by kagi, it's still in beta but it works very good. It's webkit based and it comes with all the privacy settings you need and it also supports chrome and firefox extensions!
I was once used Edge because of the option to download a file and automatically puts it in a temp folder that will be deleted automatically. Then I switched to brave because its much faster and I want to use edge as my pdf reader application, but Brave doesnt have that option to store your downloads in a temp folder. Then I switch to Firefox which my main today because it has some of the option to store your downloads to a temp folder but not all file types but still okay and added bonus was the PiP feature of Firefox can be resize to much smaller and bigger compare to the Chromium browsers like brave and edge
I have three browsers on my device.
1. Vivaldi - This is what I use for work. I find it fast, secure, and easy to use, even if it looks convoluted if you are not a power user (which I am).
2. Firefox - For personal use. I used Pale Moon before, but I found no reason to stick to it. Firefox renders pages better, and I like using it instead of Chrome.
3. Edge - I can't delete it...
Vivaldi uses too much Ram
@@pastoryoda2789 Agreed. I've since switched to Libre Wolf
Hey, May I ask why you didn’t talk about Firefox focus?
What i hate is when websites i visit are like don't use a vpn, turn cookies on, disable pretty much all your security before entering.
They want ur data
@@bot-h2h it's frustrating...
@@swagmuffin9000 sometimes they even want u to turn of adblock so they can make more money
@@bot-h2h oh yea, as soon as I see that, i go somewhere else
I've been using Slimjet, a really cool rather lightweight and fast chrome-based browser that has a really fast built-in download manager, and a youtube downloader, among other useful features.
It's a shame that Brave doesn't have tab sorting or mouse gestures natively and you would have to use extensions for that which want to see which pages you visit.
Which would defeat the purpose of using brave in the first place.
Since 1994, I've been using Netscape, then SeaMonkey, then Firefox (I still miss tabs below the address bar, they DON'T belong above it, sorry, all these years later since Firefox deprecated XUL and prevented tabs from being moved below the address bar without jumping through hoops every few updates, It still frustrates me every day). I HIGHLY recommend Firefox to my clients. As for it's supposed lack of privacy settings, it's far better than Chrome or Edge, and probably Safari as well. As for Brave, the company behind it and it's founder especially have had controversies that call into question whether the browser actually does what it says. Unless you have something to hide, I have not seen a reason for hardening Firefox beyond its defaults, and actually haven't seen or heard of the hardening guides mentioned. Perhaps a more in-depth video on this would be in order. Also running Firefox on Android, probably the first download from the ay Store I made on day one with Android (switched when my BB Passport died, maybe 5 years ago).
I'm also surprised Brave supports the Tor network since the Tor Browser is based on Firefox.
In my case, I use firefox cuz is one of the 5 browser bitdefender supports, it has saved me a couple times before so I'd preffer to stick with it
Sadly for some forms or platform we use are only chrome, Firefox, or edge compliant or adviced.. Like proctor platforms, some forms, websites, surveys etc
Great feedback. Thanks.
I've been using firefox since it came out, and I remember people saying that chrome was better. They may had been right at the time, I don't know. But anyone saying it now are attempting to use their posterior to simulate vocal apparatus..
The main reason why I feel difficult to migrate is because the Google Password Manager seems to be the most convenient to me. I did try migrating all the passwords to Lastpass (and yeah I do have Lastpass premium) but still I felt that the Android app for Lastpass wasn't still that good. I had to manually copy the password from vault. This makes me wanna ponder upon how I can migrate.
Try using bitwarden( as an extension and as a mobile app) if you don't have anything wrong with typing your master password.(You can save passwords, generate new , but it's manual). It's a good alternative to google password manager.
Absolutely
I'm using 1password right now an it's been pretty flawless so far. There is the odd time where you have to copy it manually but most of the time it autofills everything, including 2fa codes. And it has the option of importing all of your data from another password manager too.
Lmk if you have any other questions tho :)
Bitwarden is better than Lastpass.
I wonder why no one has mentioned Keepass.
I don't use chrome for most browsing but if I want to cast something to my TV in Linux, Chrome is about the only option. I've not seen extensions for the Firefox based browsers that allow you to cast.
I have Waterfox and LibreWolf. I just heard you like LibreWolf, what about Waterfox?
The only time I use chrome is on my Android phone when the site I'm going to has a presite (I guess that'd be the right term) that says to go to the site I need to disable ad-blocker otherwise it's brave
Dude's like: My alternative to Chrome is Chrome with a different skin😂😂
it's not chrome, it's chromium
@@jeffcat7127 like that makes alot of difference. Chromium is chrome without Google's synchronisation service
I use a niche browser called falkon for watching videos (like youtube) and firefox for everything else
falkon is super lightweight and can even lighten the load of the heaviest websites like youtube and firefox has all the modern JS features that allow a modern website to work properly
I've never heard of that one. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, i really felt that Chrome wasnt really safe, and i didn't really like Firefox because it got very buggy in my computer, Brave was just perfect for me
Can you please make a video like this for Samsung Internet
👍🏻
my setup
firefox with increased privacy settings like https only mode , strict mode , block cookies , don’t save & auto clear history , always open private window , etc
couple of extensions ublock origin , privacy badger , container etc
Great setup.
Well I'm a Mac guy so I'm just using the safari which has apple developed really well..... Now it has lot less bugs so my Mac user friends check out safari....it performs well and and it gives some what of privacy the chrome does not give you...
I currently use a mix of MS Edge and Brave. Edge for their features and Brave for privacy. I've always been a PC guy who uses Google Chrome. However, Google disabling ad blockers motivated me to switch.
Yea, that makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
Google does not disabling ad blockers. At least not on my instalation. Try AdBlock.
Did you turn off Brave Analytics P3A that tracks where you go and how long you stay on a site ??? Also I turned off daily ping to Brave.I also like slimjet browser and use TinyWall Free 2 way Firewall..Also like Wise Cleaner on normal mode but added cookies to get rid of junk files.👍👍👍Use Brave also.
Thanks for the tips! As I said in the video, I think it's wise to always go through the security/privacy settings of whichever browser you use to turn off those odd settings.
I use FireFox on my iMac and my windows PC and my iPhone and InterwebPPC (Which is a modified version of Firefox for old PowerPC Macs that’s updated to work with modern websites)
Glad to hear it.
i put chrome in the same box as the old IE something to never use.
sadly it's to go to browser at work. I've always used firefox and have added a few add-ons to make it a better experience
May I ask which add-ons you would recommend? I'm about to move to Firefox myself. Thanks
So please tell me how you would know what I use please tell me.
My setup is similar, but I use Bromite instead of Brave. Why? Brave has some coin thing, some social responsibility thing that I have no time for. Bromite has none of that. Further, I can't find a checklist or tutorial to systematically walk me through the process of cleaning up Brave. So, ...
Granted, Bromite can be a bit slow on the updates.
Ha! I pretty much ignore the BAT thing, honestly.
@@AllThingsSecured:
I just checked a review of all the Brave settings that needed to be changed for privacy & usability. The list was long. Got no time for that. (Just me.)
I tried to go to Firefox and found it pretty user-friendly - HOWEVER - I ran into a glitz that I couldn't overcome, and it's a matter of how I like to keep my desktop and files.
I like to use icons and even create icons for some of my unusual files. Such as a Christmas Music File that I make my own ICONS to identify songs in a shortcut from my desktop.
With Firefox, the icons I have made or downloaded from a free ICO site are covered with the Firefox logo. That defeats the method I like, and I can't find a way to get the ICO I made to appear. So I have returned to Google
I know that sounds a bit goofy, but it's what I like to do.
I think if u change the open for those file it will not have firefox logo on it
I use uBlock origin, on Chrome..... I should still NOT use it? Would love your thoughts..... (I still don't even get ads on youtube, uBlock is really strong..)
It's really your choice, James. My thought is this: it takes less than 2 minutes to switch and it will likely provide better privacy than what you have even with uBlock origin.
@@AllThingsSecured All I needed to hear!! Thanks Josh, you rock🤙🏼🤙🏼
so what about duck duck go browser is it any good
Great video man keep up the good work
Thanks so much 🙏
Hardened Firefox on the PC. Iceraven (a Firefox fork on Github that supports extensions) sideloaded on Android. 🏆
Brave is base in US. is it really safe ?
Thank you, sir, for providing elegant and useful content
Whrll for Windows users there is a Chromium project you can use and has many different versions, one of the most popular is the un-Googled version, where they remove every single trace of Google Services. It is Open Source too. I personally use this, though I use the Googled version since I do use Google Services for many things. But still, I prefer this Chromium build rather than regular Chrome
Gotta runaway from Opera for sure, Vivaldi doesn't look so good too on privacytests as well.
👍🏻👍🏻
Firefox 4 life here, sadly there are a bunch of sites that are not optimized for Firefox, when that happens I use brave.
Yea, that's unfortunate.
I've tried many browsers. But none of them could meet my requirements. Firefox freezes my laptop as soon as I open Facebook. This shouldn't happen with any browser. So I chose Google Chrome. This also has the function of synchronization. This is important in case I need to reset my laptop to avoid losing my settings. Google Chrome is the fastest on my laptop. Pages also load much faster.
Conclusion: I am completely satisfied with Google Chrome. I won't let myself change my mind, or talk me into anything else in any way.
I can’t do video calls with Brave. Why? I have to uninstall the app to use my video call features. I can’t find a way to fix this. My phones battery dies fast with Brave. I wish they’d fix that too.
Hi
I use Opera, Epic, Tor and as well Chrome and Edge
Always had FireFox as main browsersince it was introduced, however since I'm on the Windows Insider Program
Firefox has had a higher rate of crashes, so I use Chrome for now, with both TOR and Brave occastionaly.
(30 year internet user,,,,,,Netscape )
I use browser isolation. Firefox logged into Google services, for UA-cam and Google searches . I use Brave for mostly everything else, not logged into any Google services. This is to minimize tracking by Google. Ublock Origin as adblocker. Bitwarden as password manager. De-activated "offer to save passwords" in both browsers to minimize the risk of password leakage in the browsers. I do not use FB, Insta, Twitter or any other "social media" other than UA-cam.
I'd like to see more privacy/browser choice videos suggest browser isolation. I subscribe to UA-cam Premium to better support creators, yet use a certain browser for JUST watching UA-cam, etc. Use different browsers to separate for different browsing needs.
Great setup.
I am surprised that there is no mention of Thorium or Epic browser...
I browse the web entirely with cURL and for ease of use, I open the html files in a handy text editor like Microsoft Word
That's fascinating. I don't know many people who do that.
Brave has ended support for my OS. Tried to download yesterday and was unsuccessful. Will try Firefox and see what happens.
Which Os?
64 bit OS. This computer was used previously in our dental office as our server for our dental software. We have since retired and have the PC in our home. When my IT guy told me that Brave does not support our OS, I downloaded Firefox, which seems to be working just fine. Thanks for responding.@@AllThingsSecured
I use edge but google still recommends chrome. I hate that pop up!!! Very annoying and don't know how to stop it permanently. Is there a way to stop it?
Uninstall chrome
Isn't most of the other browsers you mentioned built on chromium? So what's the point
Hi Josh, this is a well timed video. Would you be kind enough to modify it to include Spanish subtitles?
Thanks for your consideration.
I just did...sorry!
@@AllThingsSecured Your very gracious, and we appreciate your efforts.
If you actually have a high threat profile, depending on what for, you want to at least use tor, or maybe even run a browser on an ephemeral virtual machine.
Brave-tor is not properly secure because you don't have the same level of anti-fingerprinting. the point of tor is to look _exactly_ the same, no matter who you are, so nothing stands out.
I'm paranoid about security, I use Brave and every time I log out it deletes cookies and never saves my passwords. I also have Malwarebytes Browser Guard, Privacy Badger and TrafficLight in the extensions and Kaspersky with firewall and antivirus, if you have any more suggestions I'll accept them.
Sounds like you’ve covered your internet activity. What about your physical info? (Address, phone number, credit cards, etc)
I would love to have Mull or Bromite on PC, would prefer Bromite, for Firefox base I prefer Mull.
Brave is ok too
I tried to install Brave on my Samsung 4G Handy. I found no source. On my HP Laptop it functions.
I mostly use Opera, Opera GX, Firefox, and Safari (I use Mac).
I use Brave, Firefox, and Opera if I'm really desperate. i stopped using Chrome a long time ago, after it bricked my laptop.
I got a 4 browser set up. Librewolf, Firefox, Brave, and Chrome. Technically I also have Safari since I'm on Mac but I don't use it. And I only have Chrome cause some school stuff doesn't really work on other browsers.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing your setup, Cristian!
It has to be Firefox for me. It has its issues but the add on store is decent.
I've been using Brave for almost 2 years and love it!! I was using Firefox but I don't trust them anymore. Brave is much better. Brave even blocks UA-cams ads that used to drive me crazy. I uninstalled Edge, and Chrome. BRAVE BRAVE BRAVE!! :)
Awesome!
What do you mean by not trusting them anymore lol?
