    Brave is an open source, privacy-oriented browser made by taking Chromium and removing all the bullsh*t that phones home to Google. It also has a built-in ad blocker and some other privacy-protecting features. Excellent, but you should still tweak the settings a little before you're fully protected.

    The plain version of Chromium isn't quite a complete application, because it leaves gaps to be filled in by Google services. Vivaldi fills in those gaps with its own code and services, and doesn't clutter the browser up with things like crypto wallets or meditation sounds.

    Full browser with many features for productivity. Web panel on the side. Great for whatsapp and messenger ... Native reading mode. Display tabs side by side. Option to add Notes native. full of features for productivity and customization. Vivaldi is Outstanding! I abandoned all other browsers. Goodbye Chrome, Goodbye Opera.
