    Mozilla isn’t some paragon of free open source non-profit charity like everyone is claiming, they need to make a profit just like everyone else to keep themselves up there as a competitor to Google. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation

    Currently use Firefox and Brave for different applications but I am considering switching to Vivaldi, I definitely want to do more research on all of them though.

      I’m no fan of either Mozilla, Brave or Vivaldi.

      Each of them is trying to make a cut with the browser.

      I’d advise against Vivaldi because they have telemetry and it’s proprietary.

      What I suggest instead are free software, community managed projects that have no monetary interests in distributing the browsers: Librewolf and Ungoogled Chromium. Unlike Brave, Vivaldi or even Mozilla, these devs don’t have incentives to put anti features into their browsers.
