    Not quite as thorough in its privacy features, but it does include ad/tracker blocking. Instead of adding crypto/ads/AI like Brave, it has optional email/feed/calendar. It's the spiritual successor to the original, pre-acquisition Opera, and they have a strong track record of supporting the user community.

    Vivaldi used to be good but has slowly been adding bloatware services into it such as Proton VPN.

    Not privacy-focused. No built-in ad and tracker blocker.

    The DuckDuckGo browser is a fairly new browser that has yet to establish itself on the market. The private antitracking technologies and the very powerful Adblocker are its great strengths. The weaknesses of this browser I see in the RAM management, the not very good and unintuitive design, these aspects cause the browser to work inefficiently and somewhat slowly. But maybe, it will be improved, because from the basic principle, this browser is one of the best alternatives to Brave!
