Don't use the #Brave #browser, especially if you're #privacy -conscious.

1. Shitty crypto scam embedded into it (BAT)
2. Whitelists privacy breaking scripts (https://brave.com/script-blocking-exceptions-update/)
3. Embedded "Brave Today" in new tabs which can't really be completely disabled and makes a shit ton of requests, including tracking ones

Those are interesting points. Which one would you recommend? Hopefully one as fast and with profiles capabilities too. I tried Vivaldi, but it's kind of slow

I'm using Vivaldi on both Windows and Mac OS and I've been happy with it. I'm on the fence about recommending Firefox because of Mozilla Foundation's lying in bed with Google.

I've heard about Ungoogled Chromium (https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium) but I haven't tried it myself since I'm satisfied with Vivaldi.

Mmm... maybe I should give Vivaldi another chance 😄

Brave had me lost at the premise of their
"What I'd like is a privacy browser that keeps a tab on bringing the 'good' ads in my life" argument.

It was just a senseless argument from the start.
