I hate Google (despite sometimes needing to use their services), and Brave is the best alternative.
✅ Chromium-Based Without Google's Tracking Brave is built on Chromium, meaning it supports ALL Chrome extensions, but without Google’s invasive tracking.
✅ Privacy & Security Out of the Box Unlike other browsers that require manual privacy tweaks, Brave blocks trackers, ads, and fingerprinting by default.
✅ Better Sync (E2EE, No Google) Brave’s sync method is encrypted end-to-end, making it safer than Edge, Chrome, or even Firefox Sync.
✅ TOR Mode for ARG Research Built-in Tor browsing mode lets you search anonymously without downloading a separate browser.
✅ Earn Currency with Brave Rewards Brave offers optional ads that reward you with BAT cryptocurrency, which you can use for tipping creators or ARG-related tools.
✅ Vertical Tabs & Saved Groups Change Everything Manage multiple ARG research tabs efficiently with vertical tabs, and save tab groups to revisit clue threads instantly.
These extensions are essential for ARG research, content saving, and privacy.
