Web browser of choice?

A while back I made a thread about must have browser extensions.

Recently, I've done some exploring on the literally hundreds of browser options out there and have come across a new favorite.

For those that don't know, I previously used 3 different browsers depending on the purpose.
Opera for online learning and research
Chrome for social media
Firefox for essentially everything else (making it my primary browser).

While I still have all 3 of them installed, and still do occasionally use them for those specific purposes, I have found myself migrating to a new web browser called Brave for pretty much everything and thought I'd share why.

1) Speed. It's unreal how fast brave loads data compared to the other browsers I've used. It's very, very, noticeably different.
2) Brave doesn't need adblock or trackerblocker plugins. I haven't done a significant amount of exploring of this feature yet, but it's buil-in ad and tracker blockers seem to work quite effectively, whereas I previously used extensions like Disconnect, uMatrix, Ghostery, ABP, Pop-up blocker strict, etc.
3) It's Chromium based, so Chrome extensions and Chrome features (like the awesome new tab-group feature) all carry over and function inside of Brave.
4) Multi-platform use. Like Chrome, I can use it on my mobile devices, laptop and PC. What's really cool, though, is that on mobile it uses significantly less power. Absolutely love that.
5) Freedom of Choice. Are you familiar with products like Google Widevine? Widevine is a very important product when it comes to sites like Netflix to ensure that content is protected. Netflix wont let you watch its feed without it, in fact. Brave doesn't change that, but it does inform you about what these products do and gives you the option to install them instead of pushing them on its users by default.
6) Sleek and simple design. Most browsers take a simple design approach these days, but I didn't have to install a theme or whatnot to make it how I wanted. It's base design was simple enough for me.

The only real drawback so far is a problem a lot of browsers have (not all, mind you): The lack of customizability of the new tab page. Now, it has customization features, just not as many as I would like. But hey -- there's extensions for that.

This might seem like an advertisement or something. Really, I just enjoy sharing new things. What browser do you use and what do you like about it?

 

I am using Chrome on both mobile and PC, because it's the one I feel more familiar with, it's also the most popular one, so I don't really use other browsers, I gotta use Opera in the library when I am writing stuff, and there are some differences, but I wouldn't mind using anything else than Chrome to be honest as long as I can search anything xD

 

Chrome because it's what I currently use and it takes too much effort to try new things.

 

I currently use Firefox due to recommendation, I've enjoyed the look of it including customization options and overall design of the browser.
It seems to run a bit better than Chrome did in the past so there's that as well, might look into this new browser you speak of because why not

 

Ahhh.

Eh, here and there, I tried using different browsers, i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox (the Brave web browser sounds stunning, indeed.) However, Google Chrome seemed to checkmark off the things that suited my preference. *thumbs up*

 

chrome 100%, RARELY opera gx but it's just gimmicky and stupid, only use it for the vpn when needed

 

I use Chrome on my desktop because its easier then other browsers. For my phone I use Safari since my phone is İphone and safari is better then chrome on IOS (In my opinion)

 

I just switched to Opera GX, this is much better than Google Chrome. The set-up is insane!
