      How is Vivaldi with security? I had used it for a few months a few years ago before I started caring for my own privacy but never looked in to it. I know it’s by former opera devs but that’s the extent. Is it FOSS?

      Just rediscovered Vivaldi recently and I’m really liking it. I can see why people could call it ‘bloated’ but if you take advantage of all of the customizations and features offered then it can really work for you. Just works with my workflow beautifully.

      This became my work browser a few months back and I love how it just does its job and doesn’t get in my way.

      To be fair to the video, it presented alternative browsers for those who either aren’t happy about recent Firefox changes, or users who want a secondary browser. I’m not a fan of Brave personally, but the video never really makes the claim that Brave is objectively better than Firefox

          “better” is kind of implied when you suggest “alternatives”.

          Only with context, which is kind of what I was trying to say. The context was Firefox users who are not happy with its current direction, or people looking for a secondary browser. That kind of makes the only necessary criteria “Not Firefox”. Everything else is the creator’s opinions of which ones you “must try”.

        Despite the negative things in Brave’s history, it is currently the best working browser on iOS that has a working adblock feature.

        Riiiiight, a chromium fork with questionable crypyo and a history of even more questionable decisions (referral scam or not blocking all the trackers, for example) is better than a non-chromium non-fork with no crypto and a history of questionable decisions.
