I just installed Brave. It loads websites very quick and has a handy ad blocker button on the toolbar that you can turn off for those sites that block you.
It froze up on me already so may not be perfected yet.
Where do you get add-ons for Brave?
#6 Brave browser has an easy import feature for bookmarks.

It does seem to be still in the early stages and I prefer Vivaldi over Brave. One of my pet peeves with Brave is the hot key to close the browser isn’t CTRL SHIFT Q like most other browsers and doesn’t have a user defined way of doing this. I haven’t added any add-ons yet.
I note that this Mozilla Initiative is over a year old. This is not new news.
I use Firefox every day at work and home on a dozen different computers, each with various flavors of Linux, Mac and Windows, because it's seamlessly portable between them.
I haven't seen any evidence of it doing anything untoward, not that it can't or couldn't, just saying, it hasn't stopped me from doing or seeing anything. I'm on FR everyday and no sign of trouble.
Just sayin', I think they're blowing smoke -- virtue-signalling if you will -- this Initiative hasn't done a thing I'm aware of. :-)
Faster, less intrusive and faster.

Thank you! I’ve been using DuckDuckGo.com and FrontPage.com to Search thanks to Kim Komando and her tips. I’m finding Gmail is reading emails and, if the subject is political, they mess with the email. If one makes the subject Chocolate Cake, the email goes. LOL
Comments anyone?
One of my big pet peeves as well, that you cant use the backspace button to go back. I asked the Brave forum if they will allow users to be able to activate this option in a future version and they didn’t give me any confidence they were even considering it.

“I use Firefox and it blocks nothing.”
agreed. this whole thread is complete rubbish, typical of the crap being posted (and taken seriously by too many ignorant Freepers) ...

It’s that “Natural News” website.
Total and complete garbage for the dumb.
Worse, another half dozen websites will reference and quote it.
But hey, they’re all getting their clicks and getting paid, so who am I to judge?
It just goes to show you that a website dedicated to Martians secretly living among us would also get rich.

If you use gmail, and you use a pc based client like Thunderbird or some other analog, make sure you are fetching them off the server by using pop3 and not using IMAP which keeps them on Google’s servers. THEN log into the gmail web interface and delete them from your inbox periodically, flush them out of the trashcan also so they have no obvious repository to go back and catalog all the metadata. This is just a suggestion, be careful implementing it, make sure you have the means to back up your emails before you take on something like this. Always use DuckDuckGo and I mean always. Never use Google as your search engine
You know that really disturbed me at the time. I'd almost let it slip my mind. Looks like I'll be giving Brave a whirl. Poetic justice I'd say.
