Good article. I use Brave on desktop and android. I like that the adblocking is baked in. I still have to add my favourite addons but that's the beauty of personalization.
Quick question: is the Tor browsing functionality in Brave adequate or should I just stick to the official Tor browser in that regard?
@soyboy77 Tor browser is a dedicated tool for the job, you should use it if you have anything related to tor use cases in mind.
more Blink-based browsers could have been included, there are some even there that are pretty good in privacy and security: top pick is Cromite (can be ran as portable, no install required, inbuilt adblocker based on editable blocklists, very agressive on tls certificate validation (more than anything, including librewolf), native userscript support, datetime and viewport size randomization on each website (i don't know any other browser that can do this), changing http referrer policy and more). Other recommendation ks Thorium (it is made by furries, has some google stuff in it, but it is open-source and constantly updated, though not as fast as cromite, that updates weekly),and Iridium, Falkon
@m33@theprancingpony.in I've been liking floorp and zen. used floorp for a while but i'm giving zen a real try for the first time in a while rn and I think it's my favorite implementation of vertical tabs.

This website honestly is too hard. Idk what those tens of categories mean and hard to see each one
It's a panel of tests for browsers. It isn't the clearest what each mean (without doing a little research) and not all categories and subcategories have equal importance. I still like this website though just for the listed information.
Thanks ;)
The Vivaldi source code is source-available, so you can view it, but the license is much more restrictive than an open-source one
