While I largely agree with the options that Tuta provides, I think the article could've been more succinct and to the point if they condensed all the Firefox forks like PaleMoon and WaterFox under one category. Also, I'm not sure if Brave should be on this list, not just because of their Chromium foundation but also because of their use of cryptocurrency, something I consider very suspicious and unsustainable. Finally, I question whether DuckDuckGo should be on the list. True, they are more private when compared to Google and all, but aren't they limited to what they can block through their contract with Microsoft? I remember hearing/reading something about that.

Brave is even worse. The people behind it donate to an anti LGBT org.
