Lex, in your interview, you mentioned how positively you felt about Chrome as a browser, but I switched to Brave after you endorsed it as a better browser. Do you still favor Brave over Chrome, or has Chrome improved as a product that you have gone back to using it? Thank you for your time, and I enjoy your interviews very much. John
