Chrome is bloat.

Lol a web browser forked from a web browser with 3% marketshare. Why?

Not everyone has to use Chrome or Edge. Some like Firefox, some like Waterfox and some like Librewolf.

Except when you visit a website that doesn't work with any other rendering engine...

I'm back on Brave, after a few months on Edge while Brave sorted out their issue where WhatsApp Web would randomly stop working after a few days. I just find their iOS mobile browser very finicky. Sometimes I'll type a word into the address bar, and it will jumble the letters up. So 'mybroadband' ends up as 'ymbroadband' or mbyroadband'.

The macOS version seems to be fine though, no complaints there.

Android, followed by iOS, then everything else.

Team Firefox checking in (mobile and desktop).

I'm surprised more people aren't using Brave. It's essentially Chrome (I get that it is a memory hog - but no issues if you have 8Gb or more memory), but without the bloat. Includes built in privacy tools, removes all ads, including from YT and as from about 2 or 3 years ago, has been remarkably stable.

Should you even trust such sites?

Built-in Tor is nice.
