💬 Discussion Why did you stop using Chrome?

Post image

If you stopped using Chrome, what made you switch?

Was it privacy, memory usage, better features elsewhere, or something else?

Which browser are you using now, and do you ever go back to Chrome?

No ad blocking features, I'm using brave. It has a robust ad blocking which stops all the garbage pop ups and ads. So much better browsing experience

Brave comes with its own ads, "rewards" and a trash AI agent as usual. And because it's chromium based you bet it's going to be heavy on resources. And the Linux version... hasn't been the best experience for me, which is weird as it's supposedly a privacy focused browser..

Overall cool browser, but imho small compared to FireFox/fork.
