    Vivaldi is simply the next stop for Firefox users, while it is freeware, it is technically closed and open-source. Some of the browser's components are closed while some are open and the source codes are available on Vivaldi's website.

    There's no good reason to use a closed source browser like Vivaldi when there are so many open source alternatives on this page.

    Non-AI browser by humans for humans. Only knock is that it's chromium-based

    Currently (March 2017), Brave is not a mature project. It's an open-source privacy-oriented browser and very fast. But you rely on the developers to provide most of the privacy settings, and you can't install extensions. Firefox remains much more customizable via it's about:config menu options.

    Absolute bait-and-switch of a browser. They advertise privacy and ad blocking, yet you can't disable their crypto wallets or their Web3 stuff. Who knows what else they'll add in future that people won't be able to switch off.

    Opera used to be good back in the day, but IMO it lost its way in the early 2010s. One of the founders went on to start Vivaldi, which is a spiritual successor to the original, and that one's my current favorite Chromium browser.

    It is essentially a fork of Firefox with ONLY private mode. There is no way to sync anything, to install extensions, and generally do anything permanent except saving sites on the home screen for some reason.

    And it has an un-toggleable cookie-banner dismisser, which does not work well, and sometimes breaks sites completely.

    I’ve started using DuckDuckGo Browser a little bit but I’m confused at it’s purpose. Is it a sometimes browser or my everyday google workspace browser.

    Arc's UI is really weird, and it's basically another Chrome reskin at its core. But they get a ton of kudos from me for all the work they've done porting Swift to Windows, though.

    The reviews and the hype got me excited for this browser. It does change the way you use a browser with the idea of spaces and profiles. You do have to be prepared for the change. Unfortunately, my Windows PC would face BSOD with this app, so I couldn't really evaluate it much. I hope they refine the browser, so I can take another look.

    It has many filters and you can adapt privacy on every site. It also have dark mod and home button in menu. When you exit it deletes everything and its really gone.
