I don't like the crypto nonsense of Brave, and while I like Firefox in theory, its performance leaves a lot to be desired and they don't seem to know who their user base is. Microsoft Edge got a decent native vertical tab solution before Firefox did! Edge! I wish some nonprofit would make a Chromium browser with sane defaults and take my donations. That's all I need.
Does Vivaldi count?

Latest chrome and it's derivatives(except brave) have removed this in favour of grid layout which i dislike(they also brought in tab groups which i despise entirely)
I know that brave has shady stuff like blockchain and ads, but they can be turned off. On desktop, i use firefox and i want to use firefox on android too but i find android firefox(fenix) janky.
Please suggest me good browser and also a suggestion to chrome developers:
Please don't remove things that we like. atleast provide option to enable it
I always find it odd that we worry so much about how much our browsers are tracking us, but almost nothing about what our ISPs are doing. Every time I've looked into it, it seems much worse. As far as I can tell, ISPs are legally allowed to sell your browsing history to third parties: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/for-sale-your-pr...
Almost everything is SSL-secured now. There's not very much an ISP can snoop on. DNS lookups and IP addresses, I guess.
TLSv1.3 on the other hand sometimes encrypts the hostname (eSNI) and most of the TLS handshake, so there's much less data to fingerprint. It's not as widely supported, but support is growing...

//Edited to clarify that eSNI isn't default behaviour of 1.3

With the amount of VPNs popping out it seems that there is more than almost none worrying.

I find Brave Rewards very egregious. You get lots of BAT and the marketing copy hypes it up immensely without mentioning, anywhere, that you need to provide your SSN and Driver's License to a third-party (Uphold) if you actually, you know, want to cash out. This seems particularly irritating because, let's say you set your browser to show you the max amount of ads for a while. You saved up for a few months, decided y…
> you need to provide your SSN and Driver's License to a third-party (Uphold) if you actually, you know, want to cash out. This is the government's fault not Brave's. There are laws that enforce the requirements. We do not have the freedom to move value or money around freely any more.
Brave may not be implementing the dox'ing, but they appear to be requiring you to use someone else's implementation which is absolutely their fault.
