I think "lag" isn't the issue most people have with Chrome :P

Welp, I've switched to Brave on my phone. Been using it for a month, and my only real complaint is that videos dont load on RPC for some reason. The adblockers very nice, and its shockingly fast! Good job Brave!

I use it on my phone to play music for free and it works perfectly, much better than Google Chrome! :D
Not sure about the RPC problem. If it a frequent bug?

I voted as Other. Hence I tried use Firefox Web Browser in Linux, as is the last version to support in Windows 7/8/8.1 was ESR 115 (Still compatible on Windows 10).

Although I use Google Chrome sometimes if i were able use Incognito mode.

Yeah, when I go onto the music thread for example, it just keeps refreshing the page before everything loads in. I've just been checking the page only when im on my chromebook or laptop instead. But it's been my only problem with Brave, everything else works great!

I use Vivaldi on my Android phone - it also has a built-in adblocker.
Which videos won't load on RPC? Are you talking about embedded Youtube or something else?

If you're using Firefox and Chrome, why did you pick "Other"? Firefox and Chrome are both options in the poll.

Yep, talking about Youtube videos. But at this point I have no idea how it works... Sometimes it loads them just fine, and sometimes it just refreshes infinitely. Tried turning my vpn off and that didn't work, and it also works perfectly fine with other browsers.

Turns out I changed my mind, yeah I chose the Firefox one, I do sometimes use Chrome as well.

I've been using Firefox exclusively after using Chrome for years and Opera GX for a bit. The privacy aspect of Firefox has become way more appealing in recent years as things continue to enshitify.

My computer kept slowing down using my old browser, so now I've switched to Brave myself. I really like that each tab I open shows me the memory usage so I can remove the tabs I'm not using that use up a lot of memory. Of course this would not be too much problem if i didn't have a lot of things on my laptop in the first place :oops2:
I have to admit, switching to this browser did have a good payoff after all. I no longer have problems with being able to watch videos without being redirected to something useless I don't need. :)
