No. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
I'm surprised that Vivaldi isn't more popular next to Brave tbh.
You get Chromium with a bunch of other features if you want them, but no crypto crap. They even run their own Mastodon instance with built-in functionality out of the box.
It's closed source, which is a big turn off for a lot of people. I do prefer Vivaldi though, largely because their business model is vastly superior. Employee owned and self funded vs crypto/advertising/investor mix? Easy choice.
EDIT: To be clear, I still use Firefox 99.99% of the time. Vivaldi and Brave are only competing for that 0.01% where I have a problem with Firefox on a particular website and can't find a solution.
No
No, of course.
And I don't understand this stupid Brave promotions from DT, CTT and other bloggers.
I did once, but after the crypto thing, then the trying to sell rights to other people's content, then finding out how awful Eich is, it's a 'no'.
If its a Chrome reskin (which it is, ofc) it's a no go. And that's only the tip of the iceberg with this garbage tech bro tier software.
Nope
I use librewolf and for chrome things may be vivaldi , but brave I dont trust at all !!
I use the brave mobile browser because it blocks YouTube ads, anyone know an alternative?
No because I inherently don’t trust things that advertise. Maybe I’m weird?
Not their browser or VPN. But I do like and use their search as default on Firefox. Other popular search engines leech off big tech's index (DDG: Bing, Startpage: Google), at least Brave maintains their own index. Their AI summarizer is pretty good.
I use Firefox but Brave is much more secure out of the box. I use Brave's search. I trust them more than Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo.
LibreWolf is about as secure as a browser can get out of the box. Check out the stats here.
