Is there a better web browser than chrome?

As if this hasn't been discussed enough already (fix the search function)

I used to like Firefox.

And I just got a new PC, with some updated version of MS Edge, that they are really pushing on me.

I've been using chrome for years though. But I'm starting to doubt its superiority.

Does a browser even mean chit?

I still use firefox just out of habit, but I should probably use chrome instead. There's websites that don't work properly on firefox but they'll work fine on chrome.

I remember seeing/reading about Brave and the whole attention token thing - it made me super uncomfortable. Mostly cause I didn't understand it.

But is Brave better for any particular reason? Other than earning bitcoin pennies for wasting my time?

Not sure why you switched from Firefox to Chrome and says that it's better. Chrome is a massive resource hog and violates your privacy.

Cause I switched years ago and didn't notice any significant deficiency. I am afraid for my privacy though, yes.

I downloaded Brave, migrated all my bookmarks to it, and configured it to use DuckDuckGo as the primary search engine. The entire process was actually surprisingly easy, took about 5 minutes from the time I clicked Download to having a fully operation new browser.

Somehow still find myself using Chrome 80% of the time anyway though, I guess just out of habit.

I kind of figure whatever browser you use is sort of irrelevant because they'll just get you another way-- social, email, whatever. Even with a VPN, even with an ad blocker.

If CIA is really interested in reading the chit I'm sending out into the internet, I mean, good for them I guess. Not surprised to learn they're a bunch of *******s who love to waste money too, they are the government after all.

I'm not so sure it's the government I'm worried about, as much as it is google, or chinese hackers or something.

Plus I've been using chrome for like 4+ years and figured the misc could aware me on anything important or beneficial I may have missed.

It's a great browser. Sometimes it keeps translating stuff into Russian which can be annoying.

I used Chrome out of habit but I prefer Yandex and Edge
