Brave was only my backup for testing and for sites that acted weird, then slowly it became the browser I opened first. No single crash, just years of small stuff piling up. Late features, the extension break in 57, redesigns nobody asked for, plus Looking Glass, Cliqz and the Terms of Use mess. Chrome set the trap, but Mozilla kept giving me reasons to stay away.
