I just installed Brave on my Ubuntu OS on my laptop to replace Chrome. It is running better than chrome was so far. Is there a way to setup Brave to safeguard against some of things mentioned or should I go with something like DuckDuckGo instead?
Uninstall it. Firefox and chromium are the most secure browsers you can get. I like to put this in money terms. A 0 day for those two is tens of thousands of dollars. An Opera or brave exploit? Maybe a couple grand
