@13reak@infosec.exchange @meluzzy@woof.tech Vivaldi. It also has a built-in ad-blocker, and for now it still supports MV2 extensions (such as uBlock Origin and uMatrix), though they don't know how long they'll be able to keep the support.

@jernej__s@infosec.exchange @meluzzy@woof.tech Vivaldi is far worse than Brave. It's hyped as data protection but actually the opposite. It's partly closed source. It sends part of your IP, screen resolution and CPU to Vivaldi servers. It's also assigning its users an identification number to track them better. Lastly, it's using Google services in the background, that's not data protection... Brave is definitely not ideal but open source and the Google stuff can be turned off (as far as I know).
