I'm nervous about switching browsers because if I have to switch back then I have to deal with importing all my bookmarks back. Does anyone have a good way of syncing bookmarks between all my browsers? The only thing I've seen is a quasi bookmark service that uses bookmarklets.

It is doing a lot to stem the online dependency on tracking, however, which I think is far more important. DuckDuckGo monetises through as, and I have absolutely no problem with that.
Tracking doesn’t really impact my life, I’ve gotta say. Ads do. Does ddg offer a paid option?
Your specific tracking, perhaps not. Once it gets to a point where it influences election results in your country, or prevents you from getting insurance, etc., it does.
But no, DDG doesn't offer a paid option, as far as I know. (I also doubt there would be a sufficient market for that.)
Re: Brave 0.55 released
#93Anyone using Brave? Would love to hear your impressions.
It's been my default browser on MacOS for about a month. I signed up for BAT payments about a week ago.
For the most part, it's just another browser.
Pros: + I can disable Javascript per-site and reload the page in two clicks. I think that's possible with FFox or Chrome extensions, but it's built in to Brave.
+ UI looks cleaner.
Cons: - A few videos have refused to play. (Can't characterize that yet.)
- Reopening a closed tab only opens the last page on that tab, not the page history. I.e., the back button doesn't work.
- I don't know when, which or how publishers will get paid in BAT.
- I don't know how hard or expensive it will be to buy more BAT when my free ones are gone. Apparently I will have to open an account at a cryptocurrency exchange? Yuck!

Here. I was a huge Firefox fan, but having 50+ tabs open made the browser unusable - even the latest versions. I then switched reluctantly to Chrome, but always hated the UI. Having downloaded Brave, it was love on first sight, looks good, works good, blocks ads. I very much miss all the Firefox extensions, I hope a lot will get ported eventually. Oh, and Mozilla? You need to reboot your company/non-profit. I don't k…
> I was a huge Firefox fan, but having 50+ tabs open made the browser unusable - even the latest versions. I then switched reluctantly to Chrome, but always hated the UI. Really? I haven't had any such problem with Firefox in years, and I tend to browser with a few hundred tabs open. What platform are you using? > Oh, and Mozilla? You need to reboot your company/non-profit.

Windows at work and Macos/Linux at home. The situation has gotten better since browser extensions that save and restore all tabs reliably don't work with FF anymore. Now the browser usually forgets about 50% of my open tabs when I restart it...
