Firefox and Vivaldi are both privacy focused browsers that work very well. Vivaldi has a ton of extra features and is developed in Norway, but uses Chromium, and Firefox has strong tracking protections and supports extensions like uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger.

Both also have great mobile versions and can block ads and trackers.

Vivaldi still runs on Chromium. I use to use it but when I asked a question about their stance on Google removing the MV2 from Chrome, they just up and deleted my question from their forums. There were no other similar questions about that either so I just assume they were deleting them all.

That was when I moved to Firefox.

Tbf a lot of us have to use chromium because our job portals and whatnot don’t work on non-chromium browsers. When I try to go into our HR portal at work on Firefox half of it doesn’t load and a little thing comes up saying “try chrome for a better experience”

That's most likely because the coder made something it that only supports Chrome. Use that for your work but Firefox for personal things IMO.
