    Mozilla aren't perfect, but Firefox is, overall, still the best browser out there. Just some of the reasons: it's open source (trustworthy), doesn't spy on you like Chrome, has encrypted bookmarks/tabs/settings sync, lots of extensions and a huge array of options under the about:config menu.

    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.

    Chromium is Open-source, Chrome is not.

    I mean, yeah, Chrome is the more "complete" version of Chromium, but it really wants to tie you into Google's services. If you're OK with that, sure, but otherwise you might want to use plain Chromium or one of the many other Chromium-based browsers out there.

    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.

    Would you like a browser that's 1) closed source, 2) proprietary, 3) tries to lock you in to it's little universe, 3) is an extension of Microsoft's surveillance suite of apps, 4) got fewer plugins, 5) works only on Windows? Great! Then Edge is for you. For sane people, there's Firefox, Brave, Iridium, Vivaldi...
