I’ll have to agree with the choice of Brave as well. This thing of earning money by watching ads and being able to give your earnings to your favorite site was truly a masterstroke.
I’ve been using Brave for years and I recommend it too.
Brave is definitely great for already having a built-in ad-blocking system in the core that even works on videos. Not to mention the system to compensate content creators.
I’d say Firefox because it uses Gecko, but every browser except Chrome itself is based on Chromium, which in turn is the foundation of Google Chrome and all its variants. If you’re going to choose a browser for performance reasons, it should be Chrome itself, because the rest is just a “skin.”
