I’ve used the browser for a few months. Recently I’ve noticed it having lots of performance issues. Also, the search engine is pretty bad and also has errors.

I’m considering moving on from Brave. Anyone else have thoughts?

      Yes. There is a privacy oriented soft-fork of Firefox called “LibreWolf”. It’s Firefox minus all the mozilla shit no one asked for.

      If you happen to run a GNU/Linux-libre distro there is also Iceweasel in your package repositories which is basically like LibreWolf but goes a step further and also removes all support for DRM crap that for example sites like Netflix rely on.

      Apply arkenfox’s user.js on Firefox, use uBlock Origin medium mode and use Energized HOSTS systemwide. 95% of the work is done.

      Also, read the first line to my comment that you replied to.
