If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

How about Brave? Not a big fan of Chrome but a long term Brave user I am. Filters a lot of things out.

I have been using Brave on both Linux and mobile for a while now. It seems to work fine as a backup browser for casual browsing. For more private browsing, I prefer Firefox forks.

Also, the recently Brave Origin (Nightly) was released. It's the same Brave browser that now has own telemetry (crypto, Leo AI, etc.) removed. It's free for Linux users and costs 59.99$ to buy for mobile and Win / Mac etc. users.
