    For every cool privacy feature in Brave, there's something else that makes me want to firewall the application away from my system.

    Brave is pretty good privacy wise. However, I don't like Chromium based browsers, as it just feeds into their monopolistic power over other web engines. It's good, but I would like it if it would use their own engine, WebKit, Gecko, XUL, or any other engine besides Chromium.

    IronFox would probably be a good counterpart for everyday use, with Tor when you really need to keep something private.

    Does not provide a Tor connection, and very little privacy protections, so not really an alternative to Tor Browser.

    Thorium is just a fork of Chrome. It doesn't provide a connection over Tor or any real privacy protections.

    Also something weird about a suggestive furry easter egg.

    I voted this as an alternative, but there is a big CAVEAT!

    Tor browser is to increase anonymity. Ceno Browser basically decreases your anonymity.

    I voted as an alternative only for the aspect of bypassing censorship, which is important in certain places (i.e. Great Firewall of China).
