If Google is forced to give up Chrome, what happens next?

Re: This is madness

Google do a very good job of keeping Chrome secure and fixing security issues. Do you think anyone else will be this good? It took Brave 4 weeks to merge the upstream zero day, putting their users at serious risk. This doesn't get reported of course, as Brave and DuckDuckGo get protected status by the tech media, and Google are of course evil, as that is where the click $$$ are.

You'll never guess which mobile browser is the worst for data collection

Re: I use Brave

Might want to also warn them about how slow they are to merge upstream patches, 4 weeks for an actively exploited zero day in the chromium code

You would have to be a total fool to use these privacy browser's without looking into support, and who you are actually entrusting.
