AI-generated summary
The author reflects on their experiences with various web browsers. They have repeatedly uninstalled Vivaldi due to performance issues compared to Brave and Firefox. They initially fell in love with Chrome for its design but transitioned to Brave, which they appreciate for its privacy features and usability. They also mention using Firefox occasionally, especially after learning about its privacy principles, but find it lacking in robustness compared to Brave. Overall, Brave is their primary browser, while Firefox serves as a secondary option.

  1. Uninstalling Vivaldi
    Tonight, I uninstalled Vivaldi once again. As for how many times I've uninstalled it, I can't quite remember. I've installed and uninstalled it intermittently, with a mix of anticipation and disappointment. It's located in Europe, feature-rich, and hard to let go of, but compared to Brave and Firefox, opening the same webpage makes the computer fan spin wildly, which is quite unpleasant.

  2. Getting to Know Chrome
    I got to know Chrome with version 24. Every time I went to an internet café, the first thing I did was download Chrome. At that time, I didn't know how to set up Chrome or install extensions; I just used it out of the box and loved its interface colors and artistic design, just like the Apple phone I later held in my hand, an inexplicable fondness. Later, I gradually learned how to set it up and install extensions, and I used it until three years ago.

  3. Mainly Using Brave
    I can't remember how I found out about Brave, but I somehow managed to download it and have been using it ever since. You can close the last tab without closing the browser. You can clear all browsing history after exiting the browser. These two points were what I wanted to address while using Chrome but was always too lazy to do. During this time, I only reinstalled it once. The reason was that when logging into Securesafe, even though the account and password were correct, I couldn't log in, but it worked normally on the mobile side. Therefore, I suspected Brave and reinstalled it, but it didn't help; everything returned to normal after an upgrade. Currently, I mainly use Brave on my computer and phone, and it has never let me down.

  4. Supporting Firefox
    I used Firefox a few times before it transitioned to the Quantum version. Its interface was primitive and simple, and I really couldn't appreciate its minimalist beauty, so I stopped using it. In recent years, after learning about some privacy-related topics and understanding Firefox's philosophy of freedom and open-source spirit, I appreciated its sentiment and started using it intermittently as an alternative to Brave. During this time, I tried modified versions like LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser, but ultimately returned to Firefox, which is now one of the only two browsers I use on my computer besides Brave, especially cherishing its container multi-tab feature, but I always feel that Firefox is quite weak and flimsy.
