      Honestly, I’ll probably try using Vivaldi. It’s the most-suggested Chromium browser in the replies I got. And, since it’s Chromium, it’ll give me the least amount of headache when switching, too. IIRC, I spent a good 2-3 hours porting over everything (including manually installing extensions and bringing over my extensions’ settings) last time I switched browsers, and I’d rather not increase that time.

        Vivaldi is not fully open source, Brave Browser is.

        there is no reason to switch from Brave Browser based on this article, it’s not even about Brave Browser, its about Brave Search, and nothing in the article affects users in any way or gives any reason to switch from Brave. Not to mention half the article is retracted now that Brave responded.

        The author has no idea what they’re talking about. It’s just a website owner complaining about Brave Search having a summarizer feature so you don’t have to read through 20 paragraphs to get to the important info on websites, same as Google and DDG’s Featured snippets/quick answers. It’s not even shady, it’s a useful feature.
