As a reminder, Brave was created by the guy who brought you JavaScript and was later fired from Mozilla for donating to hate groups. Brave also profits from multiple forms of fraud including NFTs and affiliate hijacking.
If folk want to have a chromium-based browser made by a company, take a look at Vivaldi instead (which will keep the old plugin architecture, so adblockers work). It has a limited built-in blocker and extra features, but for now still runs uBlock.
Vivaldi is what I use, and it's absolutely the best Chromium browser I've ever tried.
That said, I'd switch to Firefox in a heartbeat if it could duplicate that sidebar. I use that thing all the time, and it's the only thing keeping me on Chromium.
Firefox fork with features like the sidebar, vertical tabs, and more. It's a vivaldi-like gecko browser, give it a shot.
Oh, man, that's exactly what I've been wanting. Already switched!
Floorp is built on Firefox and was built in Japan and is a new browser with excellent privacy & flexibility.
There's something really funny about that sentence. I think it's because it reminds me of "remember Akira? That's from Japan."
I just switched to floorp from firefox, it's so nice to finally have another choice for a non-chromium browser with a reasonable number of plugins
it's also absolutely proprietary, so no, thanks.
As A Vivaldi user since day one, I gave it up once I couldn't take anymore of Googles/Chromium bull hockey. I'm just so done supporting a company like that. Firefox switch wasn't easy, but after the first week I got used to it and I'm never going back to Chromium browser. Anyone can switch if you actually care enough.

I have Vivaldi on my android but I do not know how to get adblock working. Is it even possible?
Firefox mobile has Ublock Origin and works great. Even on YouTube.
Menu -> Settings -> Tracker and Ad Blocking -> Block Trackers and Ads
Thanks. I quickly tried it on YouTube and did get an ad. So I guess it doesn't work on those. Bummer.
Edit. Tried it some more and did not get any more ads. It takes a little to get the video playing but other that 10/10. No ad experience. Awesome.
it has an adblocker but it doesn't come even close to uBlock Origin. UBO is so many tiers above any other mobile browser built-in adblocker.
Will they? All I remember was them saying that their built-in adblock (which is very barebones) would still work after Manifest v3, nothing much else.
Seems you're right! I'll cross out that part. Sorry!
This is misleading. The BAT was a reasonable idea not really a scam.
It's not just BAT; Brave also supports NFTs, which are even more unambiguously a scam.
The company is in bed with the cryptocurrency "industry" which cannot exist without constant fraud, ransomware, and other crimes.
