I’m hating google more and more every month.
Unfortunately, firefox has turned to crap and IE is ridiculously antiquated.
I’ve been using Brave a little more, but mostly to get past the “free read” limits and ad-blocker blockers that some news sites have. I have Brave set to delete all history and cookies each time I close it, so if there is a story I want to read for example at the NYT or WP etc I paste the URL into Brave and they can’t track it. Brave is pretty streamlined too - loads pages quickly.
I use about 6 browsers, mainly Firefox ESR with multiple profiles and and Waterfox classic and Basilisk since I want multiple tab rows. But also Firefox Quantum portable and Chrome portable for pages that that do not work well on the others. Edge is always there too, but it a poorer recourse. Thank God for such tools and options.

Firefox went downhill after their board fired the CEO/Founder for not supporting the Homo agenda. From what I understand he wasn’t anti9-Homo so much as he wouldn’t support their using Firefox to push their agenda.

Brave is fast and scandal free. It is open source and transparent so there is no hidden spyware as there is in Chrome and other browsers.
Chrome and Brave both derive from Chromium which is open source but Chrome compiles it so they can hide spyware whereas Brave keeps it open source but adds nice features.
I am happy with Brave.
Some people swear by Opera but I have no experience with it.
