I haven’t always stayed loyal to a browser. I used Firefox for years and, when I got my first MacBook, I stuck with Safari for a while. I used Edge for a while when I switched to a Windows laptop. But, eventually, I was using Google Drive so much for work that I switched over to Google Chrome.

Chrome has been my long-time browser for the past seven or eight years. I’ve stuck with Chrome even after reading all about how unsecure it was as a browser. While I appreciate Google alerting me when a password that I use has shown up in a data breach, I did want more from my browser’s security. I decided to ease into the privacy browser marketplace and went with Brave, a well-known option by many. I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I do though.
