Brave vs Safari Comments
Positive comment by Deviated · May 8, 2017
Paying the websites you visit is better than prostituting yourself to advertisement. Way better, in fact internet became very disrespectful before ad-blockers went viral.
Positive comment by Ola Johansson · Apr 5, 2021
It's nice with a system that can pay websites AND block ads.
Positive comment by Guest · Mar 26, 2020
Security, Tor support, ads blocker, who made it spent for advertising.

Vivaldi vs Safari Comments
Positive comment by Kelson V · May 17, 2025
Spiritual successor to the original Opera. Super-customizable, respects your privacy better than most Chromium-based web browsers, and the one I've settled on as my main browser on macOS for now. Can optionally open into a full suite of web/mail/calendar/feeds, or just stay as a web browser.

Opera vs Safari Comments
Negative comment by Kelson V · May 17, 2025
I used to like Opera back in the day, but I trust Vivaldi more now.
Positive comment by Guest · Jan 28, 2020
As easy to use as any of the other browsers plus useful sidebar and extensions and plug-ins but without an overwhelming number to choose from
