My son is very observant and loves to ask a lot of questions, and one of them was "what is that new browser you're using?"
So I told him, and he installed it, loved it, enabled the rewards, and now he's even more motivated to do the extracurricular I asked him to do after school through this browser .
I had him enrolled in a Coursera university course for Python coding (he's only 11, but he's good with these things), and I have him learn algebra and later on calculus etc through Khan Academy, and yes he loves and excels at math too.
The learning opportunities kids have these days and for free are endless. If they want to, they could be highly skilled in a well paying job before they even reach 16! I'm kinda jealous.
Oh and one thing we both love about Google Chrome and Brave has it too (thankfully) is the ability to turn a website to a desktop app (well sort of):
1) You navigate to the website you want as a shortcut on your Dock, Taskbar or Desktop
2) you go to the far upper right corner with the 3 lines to open the context menu
3) go to More Tools, then Create Shortcut.
4) at the pop up, enable the checkmark "Open as window" and click on Create.
5) make sure you "Pin" it so it stays in your Taskbar or Dock.
I use this feature for Notion, Google Keep, Google Calendar and Google Drive.

I kinda like math, but my brain is definitely not as sharp as my son's hehe. I'm so glad your son is an expert in technology.

Me neither until a few days ago. If you're used to Chrome you'll be able to adjust easily. I like it so far.
