Should I switch to the brave browser from chrome?

[milos]

I've been using google chrome for 10+ years now, and chrome has been crashing on me a lot and even giving my PC BSODs. I recently downloaded brave and I kinda like it. Should I make the switch?

Firefox IMO is the best at least from a security stand point but also usability...

I used firefox about 7ish years ago. Didn't like it, haven't used since.

I use Opera. If you like Brave, keep using it. Just know it's ability to ad-block is reportedly worse than Opera or Firefox. If you can find a way around it: You're all set.

I don't see why not. It's like a Chrome version with improvements.

The ad-blocker was 10x better than any browser I've ever used, and I've tried em all.

Nothing really, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when one mega-corporation basically owns the entire Internet and the very software we use to access it. Firefox is the last remaining stronghold against Google. It's a very good browser and more people should support it.

Google is trying to block ad-blockers, does that mean we will no longer have browsers using chromium that have a built in ad-blocker?

Firefox, Edge, Opera.

Those would be my main choices.

Edge

just using youtube with adblocks can help internet from mega-corporation a little bit.

When I was recommended to use Brave I chose Firefox, because I used to use it and don't know why I stopped using it. Ahhh it feels great to be back home, you know what I mean.

Probably because at one point it got really bad with slow downs, pausing, messing with extensions

Perhaps. I was too young to realize it back then. ._.
