As browser security and privacy evolve, Chrome continues to dominate, but alternatives like Brave and DuckDuckGo introduce new privacy trade-offs that can create compatibility challenges. Enterprise-focused browsers focus on security controls and integration rather than privacy alone. Chrome leads in speed, while Edge offers a better balance between speed and efficiency. Each browser’s approach presents unique technical hurdles in balancing security, privacy, and performance.

Given these trade-offs, how do you make your browser choice?
