With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I've been using brave these days. I really like it, I have it installed across all my devices.

As long as you know that Brave is basically Chrome (built on chromium), and that they're selling copyright data to AI companies: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36735777

I recently switched away from Brave tbh. They keep falsely flagging my Rewards profile every time I travel or use VPN and it just seems shady as fuck when the new ad system they're trying to push can withhold your funds whenever they feel like not paying.
