Why I chose Brave as my Chrome browser replacement

Readers of this august website may recall that a year ago, I lauded Firefox and its progress toward becoming a genuine alternative to Google's dominant Chrome browser. As much as I liked where Firefox was going, however, I couldn't stick with it over the long term. It wasn't compatible with everything the way Chrome was, its extensions were different, and, for my way of using a browser, it was slower and less responsive. So I returned to Chrome after a few weeks of Firefox, but the urge to decouple my browsing habits from Google remained. This year, I'm pretty sure I've found the ideal Chrome alternative in the Brave browser. If your reasons for sticking with Chrome have been (a) extensions, (b) compatibility, (c) syncing across devices, or (d, unlikely) speed, Brave checks all of those boxes. What's more, it's just one of a growing number of really good options that aren't made by Google. I first used Edge for a while on my desktop and laptop while using Chrome on my phone, but recently I've switched everything over to Firefox, and it's been a delight.
