    Yes. Brave is based on Chromium, which has some limitations on things which can be filtered. If you truly care about your privacy, use Firefox, or a further-privacy focused Firefox variant such as LibreWolf. The so called performance issues of Firefox are greatly exaggerated, realistically you won’t be able to notice any difference.

      Thanks for letting me know, I’ll check it out. Though, I do get kinda skeptical when companies announce that their privacy focused, there’s usually some sort of ulterior motive at work.

        Brave constantly shoves crypto crap in your face and tries to monetize your web browsing experience. It’s awful.

        Other than Firefox, you have Vivaldi and also other Chrome alternatives like Chromium too. Firefox preforms plenty fast so don’t let rumor or hearsay stop you from trying it either.

          Vivaldi is nice. They’re a little aggressive in pushing their new features, but their hearts seem to be in the right place. It’s run by ex-Opera people, and has a similar kind of feel to how Opera used to be when it was the #3 browser. It does still use the Chromium engine though.
