alt Hacker News> Because Google has more resources to secure their browser
They've kneecapped ad-blockers, when ad networks are perhaps one of the biggest causes of malware installs/page hijacking/other unwanted behaviour. I'm not sure how you can consider Chrome remotely secure in this light.

Brave has ad-blocking built in and policies can be used to disable any unwanted features. With Chrome going user-hostile, it's a pretty great option.

Extensions are a much greater security risk than ads.

They didn’t take a decade plus to implement per-domain process isolation, for starters…
My org (or rather, the org they pay to run their IT) blocked browser plugins with a security justification.
I find this incredibly amusing, and at a different point in my life I'd already be gone.
When you outsource IT, there are many, many misaligned incentives.
