BRAVE for 2yrs now
Doing fine and always improving.
They do listen to the feedback and make corrections quickly.
No real signs of Kike yet.

This. Brave is my main browser on my phone. I have firefox as a backup since some things still don't load properly but I almost never use it anymore.

Got it the other way around on my PC. Might try going all brave on the PC again soon though. Firefox is insane on RAM use.

Check out Opera. I use Brave too but I've found Opera has a better VPN service and seems to actually work better with a lot of sites.

I still have yet to hear anybody suggest a better VPN than NordVPN that doesn't involve some annoying hoops like renting your own server.

Why is nord so good? I don't know much so if you could fill me in I'd appreciate it.

It's kind of a default. They have a lot of servers, the speed is pretty good (although I don't use it for downloading things like some people do -- just browsing), multiple clients/plugins, and their privacy policy has not been contradicted that I could find. They are straight forward about what they know about you and to whom they will hand it over (basically on a court order), but they keep as little information as possible.

That is why I was asking if someone could suggest a feature-comparable service that had a better privacy policy. People poo poo Nord's privacy -- basically saying it's a honeypot, but the only better suggestions I've heard involve more work. So it kind of depends on from whom you are hiding. More work may be warranted on your end. Nord seems like a fine commercial VPN to me.

I've used Opera off and on over the years but always ended up switching to other browsers. I do like it though.

Ppl say Firefox is easy on the CPU. I don't have any problem with Brave, though. I know when the CPU is used because my laptop fans turn on. Maybe people having trouble on Chrome is because of all the ads.
