    So would the “best” browser be Firefox? Because I hear Brave is good as well but isn’t Brave a chromium skin-esque browser?

        There are also Servo and WebKit. Servo was kinda dead for a while, but the project was recently transferred to the Linux Foundation and revived by Igalia, with funding from Futurewei. Not suitable for daily use yet, but worth keeping an eye on. WebKit is of course used by Safari (which I guess makes it the second most used browser engine after Chromium), but also Epiphany on Linux. I’m not aware of any Windows browsers using WebKit. Fun fact: Chromium was forked from WebKit, which in turn was forked from KDE’s KHTML and KJS engines.

      I really enjoyed Brave. I ignored the crypto currency stuff but took advantage of Brave Talk which is a nice alternative to zoom. I switched to Firefox recently b/c I hadn’t used it as a browser for a while and wanted to check it out. I’m very happy with it and plan to stick with it for now.

      Brave is tainted with crypto-coin nonsense and web3 fluff. It’s also not a truly independent browser as it relies on chromium.

      If you want an independent browser, there is only Firefox.
