Chromium. With the Google parts stripped out and Microsoft stuff put there instead. It makes the browser 20x better honestly.

i went to Brave on mobile because chrome doesn't listen to the users and forces that stupid tiled-tabs group on people.

They've already peaked. They are now on the decline.

I havent had an issue with Edge ever since it became chromium based around 2 years ago. I havent had an issue with Firefox for like 5+ years now. Chrome was always shit in terms of memory usage but just slightly less so than other browsers. They are all still shit but Chrome has been the worst for years.

I use Brave. Drain battery much slower then Chrome does and it's got some built in adblock stuff.

Firefox with Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin and these browser settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH4DdXC0RFw

It's funny how things have come full circle now. In 2004-2010 or so, we only ever used Firefox, but for a long time, a lot of us were using Chromium browsers. Now Firefox is the clear winner again and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I just watched this whole video and did exactly that step by step.

Yes, 100%. I never browse without one.

I've been using one for a few years and have tried a few. IPVanish seems decent from my time using it but you should do your own due diligence before deciding which one is best for you.

Alright, so this is next for me to research

I'm starting to get somewhat paranoid about online security since I've been somewhat irresponsible with it over many years.

Like I use similar passwords for everything (although they are complex)

I need to start scaling back

Opera is trash, do not use it.

Firefox is solid, they've consistently been implementing new safety and privacy features long before Chrome.

Vivaldi is also good.

Brave scores high marks on privacy but the CEO advocated against same-sex marriage so I don't support it and prefer Firefox anyway

Firefox has a built in password generator and an account breach notification service and it helps you resolve issues with accounts that share breached passwords.

Plus container tabs to help minimize tracking between sites if you are that paranoid about it. An decent built in tracker protection and the forgetmenot extension for setting cookie rules for domains on the fly.

They fixed it in an update about a year ago, but Edge used to slow down horribly on certain YouTube pages. If you went to someones upload page and started scrolling through their videos then Edge would slow down to the point of becoming unusable.
I never saw that and I do that all the time. A bug that a minority of people had that was fixed doesnt mean Edge was less than the best browser since its rebirth
