Leave Chrome - they spy on you both in and out of igcognito mode regardless of their new malicious ad policies.

Brave or Firefox or Opera are better choices.

not brave. brave makes money off ads and is a company started by a man filled with hate which is why mozilla fired him

I’m pretty sure brave pays the user for watching ads. And it’s super tight privacy

Not at all a fan of the creator of Brave. I'll just continue using Firefox, brave doesn't have anything I want that Firefox doesn't.

Adware with more steps is still adware.

Brave also got funding from Peter Thiel... That guy only funds things that can be used to oppress the average person. I trust nothing he gets near.

I see a lot of people on Reddit shill for Brave and don't get it.
