Vivaldi is a better brave. You get built in ad blocking and tracking prevention along with not having built in crypto

And mouse gestures! Configurable tab stacking! Workspaces! Notes and pinned tabs! Tab tiling! Web apps in the sidebar! I love Vivaldi.

Remember when Opera had all of these things a literal decade+ ago? I remember.

Vivaldi is lead by an ex-Opera engineer.

I love Vivaldi, but there's just something about it's UI that bothers me. I can't quite put my finger on it - it just feels slightly off.

Yeah, I followed their dev over when they left. Opera seems to be a mess these days. I used Opera for over a decade.

There's no built in crypto anything except for the odd ad on the homepage to buy crypto. Which, sure, is kinda lame, but they don't mine crypto in the background or anything like that.
