Thank fuck there's no one here promoting Brave.
For the folks silently wondering "why not Brave?" Brave has silently added referral codes to links you pushed in the past. Not messing with links I click is like the one thing I'd hope browsers do by default. So they lost all trust after that.
Me personally, I don't like that Chromium browsers (Brave is Chromium based) have a majority share of the browser market giving Google de facto control over how web standards operate. I've even seen someone go so far as to call Chromium the reference implementation for web standards.
Also, weird crypto stuff, but it is opt out. The only time I use Brave is when a site refuses to work on non Chromium (even with extensions that trick sites into thinking it is Chrome). Which is very rare.
Why not Vivaldi at that point then?
No real reason. It's less than once a year.
