There has long been a movement to ditch Google Chrome, but many people end up going back to the browser, simply because it functions well and many apps are optimised for it. But recent moves by Google—such as the delayed but widely believed to be privacy-infringing FLoC update—are pushing people to say it: Enough is enough, it’s time to quit Chrome.
***
Firefox is the number one alternative if you want to ditch Chrome, and that’s because of its privacy ethos. Firefox is owned by Mozilla, a non-profit, so it doesn’t need to perform tracking to serve you ads. ***
The Brave browser is Chromium based so you get the Chrome-like experience but without the trackers—Brave blocks tracking by default. ***

Internet Explorer was my choice because it starts up much faster, but many sites no longer work well with it.

Exactly right. Firefox is browser non grata with me ever since what they did to Eich.

Brave is faster than any browser I’ve tested. By far.

Yep. As soon as I saw Firefox disparage President Trump, I canned it and went with Vivaldi. Anyone familiar with this browser?

Dissenter is just a customized version of Brave.
Waterfox is a better version of firefox.

So my lack of tech geekness has been exonerated for now?
Whenever I log onto the internet via my android, I use the duckduckgo app.
