I've switched to using the Brave browser and I'm impressed. It won't surprise anybody to learn that I have serious issues with Google and their apparent disregard for privacy. I've succumbed recently and started to view Google Chrome as a necessary evil. Firefox seems terribly clunky and slow. It felt like I didn't have any alternative.
