Librewolf is great, but now some stupid sites require chromium-based browsers to work. E.g: Microsoft teams.

  • Ungoogled chromium? problem is that it’s worse in fingerprinting compared to Brave. See: https://privacytests.org/
  • Brave: bloated and filled with unnecessary features.

Why isn’t there a Brave fork yet that gets rid of the crypto junk?

    Vivaldi is a nice browser, but doesn’t do too well when you look at the technicals. It is also bloated with side panels, email, calendar, notes, etc that I didn’t want. Unfortunately Vivaldi and Brave are trying to out “extra” each other.

      I can’t agree more. That is why I use Librewolf. But I keep Vivaldi as a backup browser when something is broken as it feels “less worse” than Brave.

        @Tiritibambix @opt9 I am one of the people that jumped onto Vivaldi very early in 2016 right when it was created and after using it for so long I have to say Brave is better now if you’re looking for practical functionality and speed. Although I don’t see a point in using Vivaldi or Brave when Librewolf exists. Unless you need some specific thing in Vivaldi or their cross-platform sync between devices, since I’d personally trust them more with that than Firefox or Brave.
