Not only brownser but would like to see adfree every single website or app.

    Opera?

    No thanks.

    You do know who owns it, right?

    Beijing Kunlun Tech Co., Ltd. (Zhou Yahui) (48%) Qifei International Development Co. Limited (Qihoo 360) (27.5%) Keeneyes Future Holdings Inc (Zhou Yahui) (19.5%) Golden Brick Capital Private Equity Fund I L.P. (5%).

      Everyone should totally use Chrome.

      I mean, why wouldn't you use a browser given to you "for free" by a company that makes its money off advertising and web tracking and is now rolling out a feature to let websites know when you are actively next to your computer, or "Away", like it was an instant messenger service or something?
      What could possibly go wrong...?

      Use open source Firefox people. It isn't rocket science.

        Anonymous, 12 Jan 2022Opera is pretty good. Try it.Since Opera belongs to a Chinese company I don't trust them anymore.

          From Opera for Java phones to Opera for Symbian and now I'm happy with Opera for Android so far.
          plus Opera GX with Win 11 and story continues...

            Brave has cross site cookie blocking. Misleading article

                Opera is pretty good. Try it.

                  NOWA, 12 Jan 2022But why? it's pretty secure and fast compare to others"Secure" with a bunch of useless stuff that makes it more annoying to use, like pocket.
                  So i went and though of switching back to Chrome, but then there was Edge Chromium coming out so i picked that one now.
                  Is pretty simple and easy to use.

                    GrahamD, 12 Jan 2022Samsung browser has already done this for years. It's ... moreReally, I didn't think the Samsung browser was any good.
                    Not that I think Chrome is good. I always thought Firefox and Opera were the better options.
                    I'll give Sammy Browser a try.

                              YoloBS, 12 Jan 2022Only if they support addon on this browser . Anyway kiwi an... moreFirefox for Android does. Firefox Focus is cut down, stripped out version of Firefox meant for quick browse without leaving any traces behind after you're done. It's not meant to have all features. Though having a proper adblocker would help that.
