if you want a decent browser, there is firefox and basically all its forks and brave
you shouldnt use brave if
you dont want to support google, as brave is based on chromium
you dont want to support the people behind it, as there are some people who say theyre bad people but i got no clue if its true
i dont like chromium so ill stick with firefox (and mullvad browser), even though im still technically supporting google since most of mozillas revenue is from google (though i believe it is better since its not software made by google)
Honestly, it's mostly my comfort using chromium browsers (specifically chrome) for dev. I know the Firefox dev tools are way better than they used to be, but that's one more thing to sink time into when I could instead just get things done lol.
Brave is basically degoogled chromium. Brave's patches block pretty much everything Chromium normally sends to Google. The only real exception is if you use extensions, it will check for updates from Google's web store.
