    Every feature Brave spends hundreds advertising to you is present here, minus the crypto and the sketchiness of the Brave brand. Since both are chromium based, Vivaldi is the better option. Been following the project since the early beginnings!

    Reason I don't think Vivaldi is comparable to Brave. Unfortunately I have plenty of time to read up on websites and almost All the top privacy tech sites and others have stated Vivaldi applies user ID when you first sign up. Similar to bing. Myself I'm computer illiterate, so I read everything I can find on interested item. But some of these people I've trusted their advice on different items, and so far they been "Bullseye accurate. Browse safe and secure, community

    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!
