Brave is bullshit Malware.

Use Vivaldi.

Made by the people who made the original Opera.

Hyper customizable, ad, tracking, and pop-up blocker by default.

I've been a Firefox user since the days of mosaic. I used the original Opera for years, coming back to FF when Opera was bought by the Chinese. While I still have FF as my main browser, I'm now finding myself using Vivaldi about 50% of the time. Damn good.

Use Vivaldi.

also chrome-based, unfortunately

True, but one of the better options.

I disagree, because they'll eventually cave in and deprecate manifest v2, then you'll have to do without adblockers on vivaldi too

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

manifest only applies to extensions. Vivaldi's adblocker is built in.
