just let people do whatever they want, wtf is wrong with you people
It's still better than using Google / Edge, and it's basically the only good chromium alternative to the aforementioned browsers - reminder that stock chromium is not good.
Beside, you forgot the most important point: they further the chromium monopoly, which while the engine is open source its codebase is too big so it is basically controlled by google
Nitpicks:
You can disable all the ads.
Depending on whom you ask, it's a pro or a cons.
See above.
How are they stopping them? They're not. But if you think that opposing equal rights for LGBT+ people is a good thing, then you're a massive piece of shit, and we're morally obligated to call you out for it, openly and repeatedly.
You “suggested” a browser change + mass downvote just for using brave, lol
I don’t, but I don’t see how using a free browser, more so disabling the ads, you support that person or the idea
Like, I could see a point if you paid anything for it (see: Rowling) but for brave you pay nothing so
Vivaldi is chromium based and far better than the alternatives imo. They're openly anti-big tech, push the fediverse, and will be forking starting at manifest v3.
It is still closed source nonetheless, which is a bit of a gimmick since nobody sane enough could read through most of a browser codebase anyway.
According to this website it is less private than Brave by default, more or less like Firefox
That said, I didn't consider it before but I'll definitely check it out later
AFAIK it was tested with the default setting set to no tracker- and ad-blocker. When enabling all the built in measurements it looks a lot better.
