    Go ahead all you want. I’ll never install Brave because it’s chromium based and because of their leadership and their choices.

      What do you use? I struggle to not have at least one chromium variant installed for work purposes - I feel like half my jobs’ apps or sites don’t work in Firefox.

        graphene os + vanadium is secure and private. Still chromium based though.

        If you have to use something chromium based just use chromium or Vivaldi if you like something more customized.

        At least ime they both work fine. but no one can really tell you what you should use. I avoid brave hard because I trust Peter Theil less than I would trust an addict to give me back the 100$ I loaned them.

          I currently use Vivaldi but I guess I was getting the impression that using chromium in any form was a no-no.

        Would this work for those sites? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-mask/

          Sadly it seems to be a JavaScript or CSS engine issue :(
