Brave is my browser. I used to use opera but it seems to have loaded up with bells and whistles. Brave in my experience has been a clean efficient no fuss browser.
I also used Opera, but it lacked compatibility with some websites, and it wanted more work than I wanted to put into it. Iridium is OK, but it too, being Chrome based, is limited. Brave is the best compromise I have found, and I especially like how it eliminates Youtube ads with no fuss!
I still use MS Edge but ONLY for certain things that don’t like Brave or Iridium *OR* my VPN, and I ensure that the cache is wiped before closing it.
