I would use Firefox over either, but at least Vivaldi’s ownership model seems pretty good (employee owned). Brave is just so untrustworthy at a company level.
Because it objectively IS. It passes privacy tests in so many areas where others fail and I’m not just talking about those privacy test sites, I’m talking tests we can run ourselves. It’s fine if you don’t like Brave but don’t let your emotions get in the way of the fact that it is, by default, the best option for privacy out of the box. Sure, you CAN harden Firefox or use Librewolf but even those don’t always succeed in passing those tests like Brave does.
I’m happy to stick with Brave. Far superior to DDG in literally every way.
Why would I use brave (with its weird fucked up crypto links) over Vivaldi? If you’re using chromium anyway, I don’t get the brave love.

What has brave to do with this?
They have a search engine…
As I understand the point was the AI tool of the org, not the search engine.
The irony of posting from infosec about how superior Brave is. Bruh moment.
I’m sorry that not everyone from my instance believes that Firefox is the only option 🙄
Dude, there is degoogled chromium, and various other blink engine choices, but touting brave as a “superior” option? Oof. Big oof.
On the gecko side of things, there are a ton of great choices as well. All of them are better in every single way than brave.

Isn’t brave owned by that weird crypto guy? And based on chrome?
