i agree on the ad-blocking feature so i installed brave...running brave, i ran a test on speedtest.net and was surprised to find download and upload results the same as when i do the test while running chrome....on both tests, my download speed was about 475mbps but upload speed was about 12mbps...seems really slow...seems obvious (mind you, i'm guessing) that the speed determinant is the provider, not the browser...is that correct?

Of course, functionally720 and 920 are indistinguishable for all but the largest files, and 470 is only a little behind.
