The Firefox ToC discussion pushed me down the browser engine rabbit hole (again). Have you had a chance to daily drive some really good but obscure web engine that is not Gecko (Firefox), WebKit (Apple) and Blink (Chromium)? How viable is it for a complete switch - this includes banking, chatting, logging into websites, etc.

Edit: Added link to the Firefox discussion to give better context to my question.

Brave is a series scam company.

Yeah; unfortunately on that particular computer, it’s the only modern browser that still functions. I don’t trust it with anything.

If the question had been “what trustworthy browsers do you use?” I wouldn’t have mentioned it.

If you need or want to use a Chromium browser, Brave seems to be the best, at least according to https://privacytests.org/.

No real data to backup this claim other than complaints about their addons which can be disabled, and their CEO doesn't have the best morals and principles. Like we all believe the exact same things everyday all day.

Multiple highly reputable non profits and other sources show the browser itself performs as one of the best when it comes to privacy. Leave the negativity against Nestle.
