I am so used to seeing websites rendered in Brave (both mobile and desktop), that whenever I am forced to use a standard Chrome/Edge/Firefox I am appalled at the experience. The ad bombardment is unrelenting, and I my mental reflexes to tune them out have atrophied to the point where I don't understand how anyone can use the web with a "normal" browser.
The crypto stuff I just ignore.
Very occasionally a web site will break in Brave but work in Chrome, but those instances are converging to zero based on about 5 years of use.

- qsi 3y agoI should have specified "normal browsers out of the box." I've considered setting up a pi-hole at home but never got around to it. Same with browser extensions... Getting the ad blocking without additional effort appeals to my lazy self. :)
- beebeepka 3y agoSpending a few minutes downloading, installing, and setting up a new browser is so much quicker than installing an ad blocker in 5 seconds. I believe it
- radlad 3y agoSwitching to a new browser seems like far more effort than installing uBlock Origin, and has much further-reaching security/trust ramifications, but to each their own. :)
