I use Brave, previously was a Chrome and Opera (but never again after I learned what the f is going on there).

I love that it has the chrome ecosystem but with better built in privacy and some other extra features I wanted (right click and block element). Everything works, sometimes sites break due to script blocking but that's a click away to fix.

Same.

Our ERP system doesn't work well with Firefox, and I didn't want to use Chrome.

Brave fixed both issues, and it just feels lighter than either of the two other browsers on my Pop_OS! Thinkpad.

Do you have any worries about how Brave makes money? That was my concern but perhaps that's been allayed now?
