   Vivaldi vs Brave Comments

   Top Positive Comment by Kelson V · Mar 8, 2025

   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.

   Top Negative Comment by dabockster · Jul 29, 2025

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

   Negative comment by RemovedUser · Feb 15, 2024

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

   Opera is a privacy nightmare with a shady company behind it. Please do your research and unse another alternative listed here!

   Logs everything you type and every website you visit, to be used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
