I could make some minor technical quibbling noises about a few of these, but uh yeah, seems like a quite reasonable overall assesment.
EDIT:
Oh dear god I am blind, I didn't notice he had Brave on the very top rank.
No, no no no.
Brave is trash.
Beyond getting bloated and slower over time...
... doing a whole bunch of crypto based funding and ""anonymizing"" to tie into an advertisement system...
...Peter Fucking Thiel, of Palantir, you know the fucking hyperwealthy dark overlord of data harvesting data and then selling dystopian surveillance tech to governments?
Who openly calls for hypercapitalism, corporate neofeudalism, whatever you wanna call it, actual cyberpunk dystopian nightmare society?
Yeah he was a major founding investor.
You'd have to be an idiot to think Brave is actually private or secure.

And I was an idiot for missing it up there in the top row, christ i need glasses.

I don't agree but I don't disagree sanguinely. Solid normie ranking.
-
Reasonable despite Nazi.
Are there major known problems with Bromite, Mull, and PrivacyBrowser to be on the bottom tier or normie ignorance?

Bromite's been abandoned for years now. Chromite is right next to it on the bottom tier though, and its well maintained and wonderful, so idk.

Additionally chromite has desktop support

The tier says its stuff he hasn't heard of.

No Zen browser?

I think lately Pewdiepie has had far fewer brush-ups against his years of the bigoted and Neo-Nazi vein of humour. I believe it was more naive complicity than intention. While that doesn't remove the harm he had done in the past, he has apologized and I think he has, by and large, moved past tone-deaf jokes about peoples' race, sex or religion in the last few years.
Bottom browsers appear to be an "I don't know" tier.

Theres ungoogled chrome??
-
There are no “goats” browsers. Every browser sucks.

Yes, called chromium, I've had to use chrome sometimes for work (fucking teams) so instead I use chromium.
-
Brave is S-tier? Really?
That alone makes me want to dismiss the entire thing.

The latter is my last-resort for those websites that will only work with chromium browsers, the rare times I absolutely need them. Works pretty well and it's easy enough (for now) to add ublock origin via drag and drop.
I use the flatpak version, faster to install.

Lol, all FF derivatives still rely on Mozilla for maintaining the browser engine. One of the most complicated pieces of software to develop, and there's only 3 fully operational ones. Chrome, Safaris Webkit and FFs Gecko. MS gave up on their engine because it was so difficult to maintain.
Should Mozilla go full tilt enshittification and close the source or something, all the derivatives will wither and die.

Safari's WebKit isn't Apple's though. It was built around KHTML, from KDE.

True, but, KHTML hasn't been developed now for a decade.
Iirc, the Chrome engine is a fork of KHTML as well.
There's also open source Servo engine, which kinda works ok for specific use cases
And there's Ladybird browser, the first browser with a from-scratch browser engine, it started 5 or 6 years ago and isn't targeting its first alpha until 2027
Those are the 2 closest to being ready for "Average Joe Usage" and they are not even close to being ready for prime time.

Yeah, I'd put it at B or C. In fact, my list is simple:
- Firefox and its derivatives
- Anything with a decent ad blocker (so Brave I guess?)
- Everything else

Brave shouldn't even be on this list with all the shit they tried to pull with crypto and whatnot.
