I would love to use Firefox, would switch in an instant but the browser feels so barebones. I'm using Vivaldi and that's how I think Firefox should have been, tons of options and features. Don't want to install extensions that might be sold to the highest bidder.

As a user of Seamonkey - which you'd know as Mozilla, the app that Mozilla the company ditched for being 'too hard' - I have to say no. While I trust they're not as evil as Google, I don't trust them to do the hard part of actual software maintenance.

Nope. Brave with its builtin adblocker is more than enough. I'd dare to say that any browser with builtin adblocker is going to be more than enough.

p.s.:

"Yeah, but the guy donate 1000 $ to some anti-LGBT org years ago", "yeah, but the referral stuff", more crap bullshit, etc... Don't care. It's fucking browser, not a religion.
