@mkiol I also installed #Brave Browser as an additional tool. However, I only use it very rarely. As always, there is some criticism that keeps popping up. Among other things, that the #ublock lists are hand curated. So that certain actors like Facebook get data. I can't confirm or deny this.
There have been claims of problems (data leak, crypto …) in the past: https://news.sophos.com/en-us/2020/06/09/brave-ceo-apologises-for-adding-affiliate-links-to-urls/ which appear to be fixed. I haven't found any good independent analyses of brave.
@devSJR Thanks for your more critical perspective. I must admit that I was not aware of this all controversy around Brave.
I don't use Brave and have no intention of changing that, but I found "disabled Chromium features" list quite interesting. It actually says more about the state of privacy in Chrome/Chromium than it does about Brave itself...
@mkiol No question. It's certainly always important to seek alternatives. However, #Brave is one of the examples (#Vivaldi, #Edge, #Chrome, #Chromium, #Bromite …), which I find also troubling because at the end of the day, it's focused on just one rendering engine. These are then monopolies, which are often not good for the user. #Mozilla's is actually the only competitor currently regarding rendering engines (#Gecko, #Quantum) to Google (#Blink. #WebKit).
