I use some google services that work better with chrome, other than that, everything seams to work well on Brave. From access to cloud storage, computing, databases, all by keeping my privacy and free from malware, I guess Brave works properly in most cases and scenarios, which is very reassuring for a company like mine.

Multiple incognito windows are easily and effortlessly generated at will. This browser easily handles 30 tabs without a huge resource drain. Generally all banking and testing sties are compatible with Google Chrome now, so near 100% compatibility with all locations on the web. Like Franks Hot Sauce, I use Google Chrome on everything!

  • Not about Chrome per se, but Google search is fast losing relevance and Gemini AI results are useless more than half the time. If search and information gathering moves to other paltforms, then eventually the reasons I open Chrome will reduce

Usability
I'm very happy with it's usage, specially while working with multiple websites at the same time without huge RAM consumption (this is a severe problem in several other browsers).

Ease of use and functionality is unmatched. Some of the functionality reduces on a Macbook, for example, when I can't use the windows shortcut Alt + Tab to switch between windows. I use multiple profiles on Chrome - a personal and a work profile, and Windows makes it very easy to switch between the two. Still, I've been a user for 10+ years, and I see nothing that matches the functionality, integrations across apps and devices, ease of use and the deeply entrenched habits.

Alternatives Considered
We'll Simply put, we are still using Brave exclusively, so unless we're idiots, which we're not, Brave does a much better job than those other 5. We've also tried using Opera which isn't in the list and same thing, it didn't deliver the performance or features that we needed so back to Brave it was. What's unusual to us is that Brave is built on the Chromium platform, so you'd think ChromeOS would be better, but it's not.

Firefox has a bulky and clunky design over Chrome. I didn't do a comparative test but it felt like Chrome was faster and I've never seen/ tested android compatibility from firefox. Safari seems to want to control my browsing activity as opposed to allowing me to control my browsing activity and the same points as above also apply - clunky boxy design, and I get a feeling of slow speed. Plus I use Gmail, GDrive, Google Keep Notes, almost on a daily basis and Safari makes it difficult to use those.

Return on Investment
  • As a normal user of Brave browser, I can share my experience in terms of personal benefits rather than business objectives. Brave has positively impacted my online experience by prioritizing privacy and providing the option to earn rewards for viewing privacy-respecting ads. The built-in ad-blocking and privacy features have enhanced my online privacy and reduced unwanted tracking. Additionally, the opportunity to earn rewards through the Brave Rewards program adds an extra incentive for using the browser.
