Why I Use Brave Instead of Chrome

I’ve been using Brave as my default browser for over four years, and it’s changed how I browse the web.

First off, it’s built on Chromium, so it feels just like Chrome. You can import all your bookmarks, extensions, and settings in minutes—super easy!

But here’s why Brave wins for me:

  • Speed: Pages load up to 3x faster than Chrome, and it uses 33-66% less RAM.
  • Battery Life: About 35% less battery drain, which means fewer charger hunts.
  • Privacy: Built-in ad blocker and shields for privacy—no extension required.

It’s Chrome, but faster, lighter, and more private.
