Why?

I love it when people just flat out refuse to read the article. Why read when you can comment instead?

You could ignore my reply, but instead you decided to attack me. I don't know what's your problem, but it's between two years right in your head, so please leave me out of it.

Someone needs a nap. It'll be ok.

from the article...
Ultimately, Brave Browser is the apparatus of an advertising company, a bloated and complicated experience for the average user, and the pet project of the person kicked out of Mozilla for continuing to defend harmful political donations. If you want a privacy-focused web browser, use Firefox or Vivaldi. If you want to support your favorite content creators and publishers, turn on advertisements or support them through the methods they already support (Patreon, Ko-Fi, and so on). Brave Browser is irredeemable, and you should not use it under any circumstances.
I don't use brave and I am not interested in using it, so YMMV.

This one is interesting to me because it begins to explains why it has the same terrible clipart lions head logo as a bunch of deadend political parties, groups, and candidates. It seems pretty obvious now

Everyone who I've ever seen talk about using Brave has been a chud, so I always thought it was sus.

Is Vivaldi good for privacy? It is closed-source and I don't understand its business model.
-
Not according to PrivacyTests.org. It lacks a lot of state partitioning, amongst other things. Just FYI, the front end UI is closed source, but the backend/engine is open source, because they're just another chromium spin off.
-
exactly, there's a lot of trust involved in using Vivaldi. I don't know why someone recommends it over Brave in the name of privacy.
