Whenever I'm asked by friends or family to fix their computers for free, I make sure to install Linux + Brave + Qwant for browsing.

Most times it works because they just use youtube, facebook and stuff on the browser and runs for years without troubling me again.

Other times it doesn't work because "reasons" and they won't dare to trouble me again since that is all that I install.

In either case, neither bother me again.




better use firefox


Firefox has a love relation to be sponsored by Google, no thanks.

Brave was founded by the same person in front of firefox for many years, plus blocks advertisements. Their team built a capable search engine.

Don't really want to use a browser with a political agenda that goes against me.
