There are Firefox forks with Brave-level privacy. They include Waterfox and Librewolf. They choose less features than Vivaldi.
Here is the browser scene by Mastodon participants: https://techhub.social/@estelle/114377494597083228

Attached: 2 images Here is a comparison on browser shares in 3 environments: the Fediverse panel, a website and commercial #stats. (The two 1st samples are heavily skewed to English-speaking higher eds.) The share of devices that have iOS or macOS in my poll went from 2% (at a hundred answers), to 14% (at a thousand answers), to 22% (at 2000 answers). Compare that with 15% of the pages served by the website and 18% for Safari+WebKit at Statcounter. This may hint that Safari+WebKit is evenly distributed except low at techies'. Beware that the %s of my poll are shares of the answerers, not shares of installations. The Gecko family (Firefox, Waterfox, Librewolf…) displays a 100% total in my poll (against 19% usage of the website and 2.5% usage at Statcounter.) Of course many devices have Firefox and Librewolf; and many have none. The Chromium family (Chrome, Ungoogled, Vivaldi, Edge…) displays a 70% total in my poll (against 53% usage of the website and 71% usage at Statcounter.) #browsers #webDev #Chrome #Vivaldi #ungoogled
