I'd recommend Firefox over Brave. And I'm not sure Proton are worth recommending anymore with all the weird right wing nonsense their CEO is posting.
-
I was with you until you recommended using Brave. I'll get my privacy advice elsewhere, thank you.
-
How about Vivaldi?? I’ve switched since last year and it’s been pretty great of a browser. Privacy, ethical/transparent policies, and its development team are users of fediverse socials!

The fact that brave is a baby of peter thiel is a huge no fucking way for me.
-
It's based on chromium so there's always going to be people against it here, but I've been enjoying it as my secondary to Firefox.

Ahh can’t escape the ghost of chromium I see. No offense taken as I’m not dying on a hill to defend it, but of the browsers I’ve used I like the balance it strikes between what compromises that were made.
Funny enough, before making the switch to it as my main browser, I gave Firefox another shot and liked most of the experience. I also remembered using it quite a bit in middle/high school and generally had a positive experience from those times.
I only decided to go with Vivaldi instead due to the ease of customization over the gui and how certain elements could be dynamically hidden/shown as needed. It was a niche demand of a browser on my part. I remember having a somewhat rough time getting Firefox to do similar things while not intruding on the look or function of other parts of the browser, but I haven’t looked at Firefox recently and how the UX has changed since, and if it weren’t for the previously mentioned personal/niche functionality I was looking for, I think I would have stuck with Firefox over Chrome.

Yeah, it's dubious that a chromium derivative founded by an ex-Mozilla engineer who resigned after his anti-gay marriage politics were displayed and partially funded by Peter Thiel is recommended over de-blobbed Firefox derivatives.
