No problem at all. Brave is great (and has good security). The only issue I have with Brave, is that it is heavy on resources.

In terms of memory usage, Opera was more efficient than Edge, Chrome, Firefox/Waterfox.

So far Brave seems even better but watching “Task manager” closely.

Any recommendations of fast & efficient browsers would be appreciated - I really hate memory hog apps.

I’ve probably been using Opera since it cost money. A few years back, switched to Vivaldi. Now use Brave also, especially for heavy advertising sites. But still mostly Vivaldi.

It has the old Opera short cuts, so you can step to next tab or backwards to previous page with left hand and you can leave your right on the track ball. Resources are not a problem, as I built a serious gaming last year.

Edge, Chrome seem klunky to me. Chrome handles Hulu for me OK, so that’s there. Firefox is also klunky.
