I switched to Brave from Waterfox yesterday and am wondering what others are adding to Brave. Also, Avast is truly crappy now. What is probably best to replace it with? I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 ...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted] | ||

No....Ad-Blocking is built in and performs just fine. I also use Firefox ESR as a backup, and run AdGuard AdBlocker w/ that browser. Brave is my primary browser and I only use Firefox if I have issues w/ certain websites, which is rare. ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

Not really. I do have DuckDuckGo's Privacy Essentials, which blocks trackers, tied to using that search engine. Here's what I currently have for Brave (v1.23.73) add-ons:  Like nhracecraft, I keep Firefox (v88.0) as a backup. There I use AdBlocker Ultimate, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, and Privacy Badger. As far as anti-virus, firewall, etc. I run Windows 10 Home 64-bit and use Comodo Internet Security Premium (free) , Malwarebytes (free) (incl their adwcleaner), and set Windows Defender reputation-based protection ON for unrecognized apps and files from the web.

I have AdBlock Plus installed. I can choose exactly what elements to block. | |||
