MODERATORS
I'm no fan of either Mozilla, Brave or Vivaldi.
Each of them is trying to make a cut with the browser.
I'd advise against Vivaldi because they have telemetry and it's proprietary.
What I suggest instead are free software, community managed projects that have no monetary interests in distributing the browsers: Librewolf and Ungoogled Chromium. Unlike Brave, Vivaldi or even Mozilla, these devs don't have incentives to put anti features into their browsers.
Currently migrating over to Librewolf, I really liked what it has to offer. Thank you for the suggestion!
