    I only listed Opera b/c Vivaldi is based on it:

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_(web_browser)

    Vivaldi is absolutely a descent FOSS product, but will agree with the Opera sentiment and have edited my post more accordingly.

  I’d argue Firefox is the descent alternative.

  • Opera is Crappy Chinese ad-filled browser
  • Vivaldi, although it’s extremely nice tab management system and unique features, isn’t open source. But probably the better chromium browser of the owns you mentioned.
  • Brave… Is a crypto shilling browser run by a turd wanting to ban same sex marriage

  There are a plethora of sources out there of good reasons not to use these browsers. But seriously, Firefox is an excellent browser, treat yourself to better privacy 🦊

    I only listed Opera because Vivaldi’s based on it, but that’s about where it ends. Vivaldi and FF are the only two I use tbh.

  Each of which depend on chrome and google’s decisions.

    Idk why you’re being downvoted. All of these browsers are chromium browsers.
