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.

Microsoft Edge stands up against other browsers, depending on the needs of your organization. It's fast and dependable, with a user friendly interface. Many of our legacy systems rely on old functionality that is utilized in the IE Mode. We also like that because we use other Microsoft Office products, we can open and edit those directly within Microsoft Edge. But many extensions we'd be interested in aren't available for this particular browser.

  • Sometimes, some functions don't seem to work while browsing Incognito.
  • I'm not sure if this is an Edge issue, but if you set up the Passwordless Experience in Windows and don't have Windows Hello configured, when you attempt to view a password, it displays a prompt that doesn't work.

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).

I use Edge daily - all day. I typically have 2 Edges open on two different screens as well. While Edge and Chrome are both built on the Chromium platform, Edge completely beas out Chrome regarding security, usability, and functionality.

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.

I actually use all three products for different tasks. I find it helpful to use different products so that I am familiar with them. This allows me to assist coworkers who use different products. I am familiar enough with each similar product that I can help other employees troubleshoot difficulties.

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.

  • It is good to have an alternative to Google...different results...which means more choices and information than from one source.
  • Sometimes Microsoft Edge information results is not as robust as Google so we need to use Google too.
  • The integration with Microsoft products is really nice...since we are a Microsoft shop.
