[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1936329, member: 190607"] I've had the same experience. In fact, I originally switched from Safari as my main browser to Brave because I was having to switch to Brave too often to get Web sites to render properly. Brave has supreme compatibility. I have half a dozen Web browsers installed on my main Mac. I like to keep up with all of them and see how they are progressing. The Brave folks seem to be developing Brave at a breakneck pace. It's impressive. None of the other browsers are moving as quickly. Vivaldi comes the closest. They come out with a bunch of new features in fits and starts. It's almost as if they wait to see what Brave will be offering and then they rush to match it. The two browsers are extremely similar. They both use the same codebase. But Brave consistently rates better for security. Currently that's about all that separates them. Vivaldi does now offer free e-mail. That's a nice feature, but if one wants free e-mail, there are more secure sources for it, such as Proton or Tutanota. Personally I'd rather not host my e-mail with the Vivaldi folks. There are other browsers for the Mac that aren't quite as advanced as Brave and Vivaldi, but which specialize in certain areas, such as security or speed. If you want to try a browser that is optimized for speed, check out: SlimJet (free) [URL code="true"]https://www.slimjet.com/[/URL] Did you know that there are *hundreds* of Web browsers for the Macintosh?!
