I’d recommend Firefox over Brave. And I’m not sure Proton are worth recommending anymore with all the weird right wing nonsense their CEO is posting.

The fact that brave is a baby of peter thiel is a huge no fucking way for me.

How about Vivaldi?? I’ve switched since last year and it’s been pretty great of a browser. Privacy, ethical/transparent policies, and its development team are users of fediverse socials!

It’s based on chromium so there’s always going to be people against it here, but I’ve been enjoying it as my secondary to Firefox.

Ahh can’t escape the ghost of chromium I see. No offense taken as I’m not dying on a hill to defend it, but of the browsers I’ve used I like the balance it strikes between what compromises that were made.
Funny enough, before making the switch to it as my main browser, I gave Firefox another shot and liked most of the experience. I also remembered using it quite a bit in middle/high school and generally had a positive experience from those times.
I only decided to go with Vivaldi instead due to the ease of customization over the gui and how certain elements could be dynamically hidden/shown as needed. It was a niche demand of a browser on my part. I remember having a somewhat rough time getting Firefox to do similar things while not intruding on the look or function of other parts of the browser, but I haven’t looked at Firefox recently and how the UX has changed since, and if it weren’t for the previously mentioned personal/niche functionality I was looking for, I think I would have stuck with Firefox over Chrome.

I was with you until you recommended using Brave. I’ll get my privacy advice elsewhere, thank you.

Yeah, it’s dubious that a chromium derivative founded by an ex-Mozilla engineer who resigned after his anti-gay marriage politics were displayed and partially funded by Peter Thiel is recommended over de-blobbed Firefox derivatives.
