Brave Software
For day to day use it works fine both business and personal. I find it fast and reliable. We are not using the LEO ai feature since we are already using ChatGPT but we probably should check it out as there may be some real benefit from a more integrated application. We have some company specific extensions which were important to us and so far they have all worked exceedingly well.

At the price point this product sits at, it's well worth the additional layer of security. Surf shark isnt a security silver bullet, more of a additional security weapon to add to the arsenal and used properly, can augment and compliment your overall security posture. Using the search function when searching on sensitive subjects is helpful, using the site checker to ascertain for breaches is a valuble tool and the VPN is always on and is solid

Cons
Brave Software
  • Brave's user interface, while generally intuitive, it could provide more options for customization and personalization. Allowing user to customize the browser's appearance, layout, and settings to a greater extent would enhance the user experience and cater to individual preferences.
  • While Brave offers syncing across devices, including mobile platforms, sometimes there are issues with the reliability and consistency of syncing bookmarks, settings, and browsing history. Improving the syncing functionality and addressing any potential inconsistencies would be valuable for users who rely on seamless integration across multiple devices.

Usability

The interface is clean and intuitive but Some sites may not work properly due to strict ad-blocking

Product is great, but occasional issues with some sites. The user interface is clean and simple to navigate and work through. Making it fairly idiot proof is welcome for a techno novice like myself! All of the key tools are listed on the lefthand side and are easy to click through and activate/use

Alternatives Considered
Brave Software
We'll Simply put, we are still using Brave exclusively, so unless we're idiots, which we're not, Brave does a much better job than those other 5. We've also tried using Opera which isn't in the list and same thing, it didn't deliver the performance or features that we needed so back to Brave it was. What's unusual to us is that Brave is built on the Chromium platform, so you'd think ChromeOS would be better, but it's not.

Surfshark's VPN (Virtual Private Network) is simply better in every way than any of the competitors that we have used every time. This is the jewel in the crown of the product. With the tools such as the search function, site breach detection and other tools such as antivirus etc it makes it a compelling suite
