I'm using Brave browser now. Seems to be lighter and less bulky than Google Chrome browser too. Seems faster as well.
It seems faster and less bulky than a big tech browser designed to spy on you? To download a better option and then to open it and import your old bookmarks can take as much as a minute.

Have you noticed something wrong with YouTube lately? The videos on there keep crashing every few minutes. It's not my browser because other sites still work well. I also cleared my browser cache and cookies too and restarted my computer, so it can't be my computer's problem. Must be YouTube's problem. What is going on?
It could be a temporary issue however Youtube has been known for years to slow down streaming for Firefox users and even disabled it entirely to pressure people to switch to Chrome. The war was specifically on Mozilla's user base because Opera, Safari and other non-Google browsers still worked albeit at slower speeds than Chrome fueling the misconception that Chrome had them all beat in technology. Keep track of when the errors occur so you'll recognize them in the future. Whatever browser you're on it could be ad blockers and your other add-ons or extensions crashing Youtube but if you're on Brave it's possibly they are causing streaming problems to pressure you to leave the browsers that offer more privacy. But Brave like Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium and faces less hurdles than Firefox because it doesn't directly challenge Google's monopoly.

Does Brave Browser Really Beat Fingerprinting?
https://lbry.tv/@RobBraxmanTech:6/brave:8
Brave Browser was revised in 2020 and received a slew of features related to better defense against browser fingerprinting. Or at least that's the claim. In this video we put this to a test, by actually attempting to fingerprint a Brave Browser session in different circumstances while we also theorize some possible ways to evade the defense.
In the end we will figure out exactly what Brave does differently from other browsers and we will see if it lives up to the hype. Is it unbeatable by a browser fingerprint tracker? Or is it flawed? Find out the results of the actual test.
We also compare it to Chrome and Firefox using default settings on those browsers.

The Great Firewall of...America? WTZ!

This past week on Feb 2 - Feb 7, 2021 a massive attack was conducted on encrypted services, particular VPN's. VPN traffic was throttled to near unusability.
Basically in 2021, the Great Firewall of the USA was turned on. And then abrubtly turned off.
Purpose of the action was unknown. No party stepped up to acknowledge and aside from me, no one has stepped up to call any Internet Provider of their egregious action against privacy minded people.
Why did this attack happen?
Why did the attack stop?
Which company is responsible?
Is this because of a government mandate?
Why the concerted efforts with cable companies to throttle on the other side?
Was it because they had network congestion and were just trying to deal with that? But why the selective choice of throttling the people interested in privacy?
Since VPN's can cloak themselves, why even bother to do this since at best the effect is temporary?
