I still prefer FF or Vivaldi over Google Chrome. Yes Vivaldi is Open Source Chromium, but at least it doesn't have the Chrome crap in it.

    It's still the same rendering engine. There are two browsers.

    That's like saying there's only 5 games because they use the same game engine

    Is there a mobile Vivaldi counterpart? It doesn't make sense for me that I can't share history with desktop and mobile together

    There is, but on iPhone at least it sucks. I love Vivaldi on desktop - every time I try something else I quickly give up. But on mobile I can’t endorse it at the moment.

    Perhaps it’s better on Android though, I don’t know.

    I tried Vivaldi, it's a good browser but I prefer Brave because it has build it Tor. In my country most torrent sites are blocked so a built-in Tor is useful to me, it can open those sites without VPN.

    Brave is also a shifty shady browser that has problems with inserting affiliate links without telling you and selling off user data. They're really not better or remotely trustworthy TBH, you might as well use the actual TOR browser built on Firefox if you need that capability.

    Yeah, I don't understand how Brave became acceptable all of the sudden.

    Did they do some big marketing campaign in the US or something?

    They definitely did some marketing, because it came out of nowhere. When I first installed it, it was all over the internet, from YouTube to webpages. A similar thing you can notice with the Arc Browser. I couldn't find any exceptional features on the Arc Browser but the hype is encouraging people to try it.
