Enough. I ditched Google Chome.
Been using Brave for months.

Not about "my browser can beat up yours".
This is about the endless privacy invasions by Chrome, and Google selling info and your security without a second thought (see external link above).
Enough is enough!
Here are four good ones and four to ditch asap.

Any good advice on VPN?
I have extensive experience with two, so FWIW:
I purchased a lifetime 5-device license for VPN Unlimited a few years ago when it was on sale. Had issues with frequent dropped connections, multiple times a day, with disruption of my online work each time. I patiently waited through 4 or 5 "New, Improved" versions without the issue ever getting fixed (they always blamed the problem on me, or at least my configuration choices, which I did not make - I used the recommended defaults) and finally gave up & abandoned it. Should have done so much sooner but, hey, I had a lifetime deal. Because of the frequency of dropped connections, I don't recommend it for extended periods of use. Might be OK if only short intervals of use are needed. Having not used it in a couple of years, my information may be a bit stale, however.
After some due diligence, I purchased NordVPN a couple of years ago. It has been a solid, reliable workhorse and dropped connections are exceedingly rare. Reasonably priced, well-reviewed and happy to recommend it. Even though sounds like it would be a Scandinavian outfit, I understand it is based in Panama.

I have been using NordVPN for about five years now and find it to be very effective with little to no drop-outs or issues. I had tried other VPNs but NordVPN is definitely the best I've used and I recommend it, also. It has multiple secure servers all around the globe so there are many options to choose from should a server become slow due to multiple users.

I'm going to try using Slimjet again even if it's not skinned to the WB I'm using. Firefox doesn't seem to be able to handle some sites very well. I used Slimjet it in the past. It's still on my PC. What could go wrong?
