I have brave. But i still have to use google or microsoft since my school doesn't allow other alternatives. HMM, wonder why!
Have found that Brave is less than ideal when it comes to functionality of many sites, it's bit to un-nuanced in it's approach(see my other comment).
Only chrome browsers I have on my machine is EpicPrivacy Browser(free VPN's sorted by geographic location, good and easy way to get around 'not allowed in your region') and a browser that is bundled with my firewall and that I basically only use for online banking and other equally secure sites.
I avoid google like the plague...when I can.
I rebooted my system not too long ago and I keep getting a popup from google that I need to relog into some of it's programs.
I would rather take the time to X out the popup each time.
Actually...seeing that popup makes me smile.
No wonder Trump wanted to buy Greenland
The Chrome symbol...👀👀👀
Still use firefox with 3 adblockers and noScript(also enhancer for youtube(fabrication/machining content being the only interest there)), I have ZERO advertising everywhere....
Have done a few of those 'tracking info requests' and they're pretty much nothing but tumbleweeds............
I even have ZERO adverts on those pirate streaming sites(no script is a bit of a learning curve but naming of streaming and content servers/scripts are fairly obvious(usually have stream/vid/mov/cdn etc in the name) and you just do a bit of trial and error with allow temporarily to figure the rest out(an absolute pop-up blocker is also a part of my setup and that is ALWAYS on when I'm temp allowing unknown scripts to get a site to work)
My browsing experience is rather serene, all I have to worry about are the NPC-people/blatant propaganda posts on socials + news sites...
I recognize myself.
Also got, Palemoon (which I whip like a dead horse) with 30 ancient extensions literally shoehorned into it using moon tester tool, Basilisk, Librewolf and Konqueror.
Unfortunately we're a very small minority, made worse by the majority of younger generations being nowhere near as tech-savvy as the general reputation say they are(say's the cantankerous old fuck who's first PC was running win 3.11....)
It's nice to be able to just go to a web site knowing that one wrong click does not mean getting a virus.
Linux does not hurt either obviously.
The younger gen, in this latest iteration, have been dumbed down by their "devices" that they are not even root level users of.
