After a decade of Chrome loyalty, I finally made the switch to Brave. This decision wasn’t just about trying something new – it was about taking control of my digital privacy and improving my browsing experience.
Chrome had become a resource hog, slowing down my laptop while devouring RAM like it was an all-you-can-eat buffet. Brave, built on Chromium, feels familiar but runs significantly lighter. My battery now lasts hours longer, and I can keep dozens of tabs open without my computer sounding like it’s about to take off.
Privacy was the real game-changer. Brave blocks trackers and ads by default, showing me exactly how many it catches daily. It’s eye-opening to see just how many companies try to monitor our online activity. Last month alone, Brave blocked over 10,000 trackers on my devices.
The built-in crypto wallet and BAT rewards system was an unexpected bonus. I earn tokens just by browsing, which I can either keep or use to tip content creators. It’s like getting paid to do what I already do online.
The transition was seamless – Brave imported all my Chrome bookmarks and passwords instantly. Plus, since it’s Chromium-based, all my favorite Chrome extensions work perfectly.
