Both Chrome and Edge are irritating me. Between popups, adds, and auto video play that neither will let me disable....... Just wondering if there is a better browser that would be worth the time and effort to migrate to.

Duckduckgo

Opera is another good one. You can use it on mobile and desktop.

Thank you. I have not heard of either.... Duckduckgo looks to be an extension to Chrome, whereas Opera is a totally different piece of software, correct?

Correct.

Duckduckgo has a mobile browser for Android and iOS. For desktop, only an extension.

Opera has mobile and desktop browsers.

Thanks!

I've installed both, and will give each a whirl over the next few days. Opera has a password manager. That's something I do like about Chrome (even if it does cause some degree of angst).
