Try Brave from brave.com - so much innovation in one browser.

Never heard of the Brave browser before. Anyone knows if it's really ok ?

I would suggest either Firefox or Safari instead of Brave. Brave is an ad platform.

Will take a look, thanks, first time I've heard of brave.

Brave Browser is doing all right AFAIK.
