I just started using the Brave browser last week. No complaints at all. In fact, I understand it's really Chrome, but configured for max privacy and ad-blocking.

Seems to be a bit snappier.

I have used Brave now for a few years after FireFox outing as Woke. Brave is great. I’ve used their VPN - very good.

It’s not ‘really Chrome’ - Google separated out their ‘Chromium Engine’ a number of years back and it’s public domain - Brave and Microsoft’s Edge and Google Chrome are based on it. But yes, Brave does a great job of being NOT Google.
Btw, I haven’t tried their Talk, but another engineer said it’s way better than MS or Zoom - maybe a little bit less smooth as Google’s Meet.

I didn’t use Brave for images. It isn’t that good.
