RE: What is your favorite browser?

in #dpoll5 years ago

Lol, you sound just like I do! Initially I mainly just used Safari on my Mac, and by all accounts it’s still my main browser on my iPhone. However, I soon found i wanted better plugin support along with other features. I tried Firefox and I disliked it then, and just flat out hate it now. I had little interest in using Chrome. Opera was actually my main browser for several years, built on Chromium, great plugin support, fast, great features. It really was a good browser even just a year or two ago. However, I was growing tired of their built-in ads on the home screen and it was in late 2016 I found #Brave mentioned on Gab back when I was on there. Indeed, once I learned it was the former cofounder of Firefox and the creator of JavaScript working together to make a browser I knew I had to try it. I initially loved the security of it, but the overlap feature set in those early alpha/beta days was kinda barebones, to say the least. I kept using Opera until I finally decided I valued the built in security of Brave more. Some months later, plugin support was added when they switched to using Chromium as their underlying engine, and I never looked back!

For me, Brave is such a fantastic browser, from the ad blocking, to the Tor browser, to the crypto features rolling out, it’s just incredible! Now that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t try another browser, for fun at least. I have tried Vivaldi and it was... just ok. I would like to try Pale Noon but it’s mainly a Windows and Linux deal, for now. But, I don’t see myself turning away from Brave anytime soon! :)

Absolutely! I'm quite surprised how adapted to Brave I became. Everything just feels right with it.
