BTW, the Brave Browser experience is very good, particularly on mobile. Better than Chrome, IMO. I have also finally migrated to DuckDuckGo as my default search.
A huge flaw of Chrome on mobile is that it doesn't support extensions, which means among other things no ad blocking (unless you use some sort of system-wide ad blocking, like hosts file filtering). Brave on mobile probably also doesn't support extensions, but it has built-in ad blocking, so at least that's taken care of. Personally I ditched both Chrome and Google after the Snowden leaks. Thankfully DDG has improved a lot since then.Better than Chrome, IMO.
DuckDuckGo is my default search, but Chrome on mobile broke search bar functionality in the last update. It looks at everything I type in the bar as a web address. Chrome also broke the setting to change the default search; trying to change it crashes the browser 100% of the time.
The latest Chrome update also manages to foil attempts by websites to detect when you’re browsing in incognito mode (and deny content accordingly). Sorry, NY Times, I’ll pony up when I’m done with grad school.
