Concerning the company’s politics, I begrudgingly use Brave. A lot of people will cut you off as soon as you say “I use Brave, but…”

It comes preconfigured blocking most ads with no extensions which is a plus. It runs faster than chrome which is a plus. If a page is broken, you just turn off adblocking instead of having to launch a separate browser. So yeah, in terms of user experience, it’s great.

I don’t trust google and I don’t have any reasons to trust brave as a company, but for the time being it seems like the lesser of two evils.
