    Like someone has said, we’re in a privacy-oriented sub so it’s natural (expected even) to expect the hate. Edge/MS really is bad in terms of privacy. So I get the hate.

    With that said, privacy concerns aside, I have to agree that its reputation is worse than it really is. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it, but my standard was IE so it wasn’t really saying much lol. It’s getting bad with unnecessary features, though.

    As for being better than FF… well, of course in terms of privacy FF is still better imho. However, I rely on chromium-based browsers for work. Some internal sites I use for work simply don’t play well with FF. I do have Brave, but I sometimes use Edge as well.

    Is there a good chromium browser anyone can recommend? Is Brave the best privacy-wise? Vivaldi?

      Brave is more private than Vivaldi, but both options are good. Vivaldi’s main focus isn’t really privacy though. Like they don’t sell your data nor collect it (other than some info to see I guess how many users there are?). So if you like the features that Vivaldi has (which is a lot) then VIvaldi sin’t a bad option. So really just test em out and see what you like.

        Thanks! I’m not sure I’ll be using many of Vivaldi’s features but it’s nice to know they’re a good option. I’ll stick with Brave for now. Too many features scare me.
