I have the following;
- Internet Explorer is uninstalled - not used at all.
- New Microsoft Edge replaces legacy Edge - for it's better privacy options and secondary browser to Chrome.
- Google Chrome - stores auto-fill forms and passwords that can be used for Android apps logins.

Only two browsers installed:
Internet Explorer (needed for one work application)
Edge (used for everything else)
Internet Explorer (needed for one work application)
Edge (used for everything else)
That doesn't answer the question.

Um, I have 5! Actually 6 counting Dev version of Edge. So that's 2 for Edge and Firefox, Waterfox, Palemoon, and Tor!

- Brave (main)
- Firefox (secondary)
- Vivaldi
- Edge
- Chrome and IE (I don't use them)
Voted 3 since they are on the same machine, but one is in a virtual machine.
Windows
Linux
Windows
- Internet Explorer is uninstalled.
- Chrome is primary browser with add-ons installed.
- Microsoft Edge (Chromium) is secondary browser with minimal add-ons in the event a site is broken in Chrome.
Linux
- Brave- for stability, compatibility, and privacy.
- Firefox came with this particular Linux distro (Pop!_OS) but was removed because it was performing badly in the VM.

I remember really liking Vivaldi UI but had performance/ stability issues with them.
Maybe will give it another try.

It's still broken (eg Bitwarden autolock timer not working) but sync is good and has builtin adblock.

Any slow downs or stability issues with brave?
As when I used brave some versions we're faster then chrome at that time then chrome was faster.
But ditched it after some time after they integrated Crypto #####.

It's pretty fast but uses my Nvidia GPU instead of the integrated one, draining battery faster than anything else
AKA Ponzi's Browser XD

Installed: 1 (Yandex - it has everything I need, the cold start takes half a second, needless to say more)
Portable: 2 (Unpack to RAM > Use > Remove: TOR occasionally, Chrome at the moment just for Netflix)

Can you force APU/IGPU over GPU in flags?

I really like your setup yandex seems pretty good to be fair might give it another try.

Seen a few ways to do from using shortcut flags to about flags but probably best one is the following
Display settings -> Graphic settings -> Choose an app to set preference: Classic App -> Browse -> Firefox.exe (Brave in your case) -> Firefox (Button that appears below the browse button) -> Options. I then chose Power Saving which makes your browser use the iGPU. High Performance would make the browser use your dedicated GPU.
better then any other alternative since an update won't break it, unlike every other workaround.
