in reply to Tuta • • •Brave seems like an irrational choice.

in reply to Tuta • • •Vivaldi should be totally avoided since it is proprietary software that is unethical and unjust. Also with source code unavailable it can also contain backdoors and surveillance.
I don't know whether Brave have software freedom issues or not, but it is unavailable in almost all free GNU/Linux distributions' official repositories, including but not limited to Debian, Trisquel, Guix, Parabola, etc. Therefore there should be software freedom concerns with Brave and you should be careful.

in reply to Tuta • • •Firefox is also proprietary software, and you should avoid the binary distributions of Firefox by Mozilla. However, Firefox can become free software as long as it gets its name changed - Firefox's source code is under MPL, and what makes Firefox proprietary is only its trademark. So you can try Iceweasel, GNU IceCat, or you can build your own browser from Firefox's source code with its trademark stripped out.
LibreWolf, Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser are ideal choices.
