Vivaldi doesn’t have its own extensions site, but instead lets you get them from the Chrome Web Store. In our speed test, it came a close second for page-loading times, and it feels smooth and stable as you browse. It also gives you impressive control over your privacy settings, and lets you clear all your private data in one go. Most browsers support keyboard shortcuts, but Vivaldi goes one step further by letting you create your own. Web pages can be displayed in pull-out panels, navigated using mouse gestures, annotated for future reference, captured with the screenshot tool, grouped into tab "stacks" to save space or tiled to view them side by side. When you first run Vivaldi, you’re invited to choose from six attractive themes, decide the position of your tab bar (top, left, right or bottom) and set a background wallpaper. Dig deeper and you’ll discover manner of clever features, customisation options and time-saving tricks. Its default interface might not look particularly groundbreaking, but that doesn’t mean the browser is derivative or old-fashioned. While most browsers now mimic the pared-down design of Chrome, Vivaldi more closely resembles older versions of Opera.

It's also worth noting Brave fails to perform even the most basic protections in Tor mode, and your fingerprint can match your normal browser, exposing you in a potentially dangerous manner.

FireFox offers infinitely more safety and privacy and isn't trying to shove Crypto down your throat. Though this could require a lot of work.Don't use Brave, please.

Opera is Chinese government spyware with a bad track record. The ST is keeping Scratch to a few browsers for a reason, of course.All 3 browsers named within OP and Chromium derivatives. But tbh I've only used Chrome and Explorer in my whole life, so I don't know how well projects would run on Scratch if it got support in the ones you mentioned.

They are being indoctrinated in to a Google Ecosystem, it's incredibly dangerous and I hope it all gets banned. And the only reason Chrome OS is as big as it is, is because Big G are paying school districts to give children Chromebooks, sacrificing their personal liberties in an unconstitutional way, allowing Big G to siphon data from these students. They have tried breaking Ad Blocking extensions. They perform heavy levels of telemetry, the browser is slow and uses a lot of RAM. Google Chrome is a dangerous browser, it has baked in support for WideVine (a proprietary DRM scheme), the content of every page you visit is sent to Google as part of the Translate API services to detect the language of a page. The more chromium browsers exist in the wild, the more power Google have to mold the internet to their design, which is something no one would want. Google creates proprietary APIs baked in to Chromium, with no open discussing between other browsers. In addition, Chrome OS is now breaking into the marketGoogle Chrome, and the Chromium Engine in it's entirety is a serious threat against the open ecosystem of the web. It’s your personal preferences, I won’t condemn them … But personally, I use the Google Chrome browser, because it is the fastest browser and while in the world it takes the first place, 66.9% of users prefer the Google Chrome browser.
