I think that Vivaldi presents itself as Google Chrome by default in order to blend in with the rest of the Internet and be much harder to fingerprint. That's likely why they have those unique identifiers. Could be something worse though, I don't know.
In my case, Brave works fastest especially on two of my windows 10 machines, if I compare the performance in terms of tab switching and opening speeds, smoothness, and overall stability. And security in Brave is top notch. If you are on Windows 10, I would recommend Brave over other browsers. I am not sure about WIndows 11 though.
I would most likely agree with this, been using Vivaldi for few years now and it works very well with a couple of subtle nuaces here and there. Have tried almost all the other options (apart from Zen n Arc) and no single browser was able to replace the features that Vivaldi ships out of the box for me. Firefox for me would be the next replacement if I have to pick one with good privacy and descent customization options, plugin ecosystem, but the tab management sucks and it seems FF is still stuck in 2000s,.
I am user of Vivaldi for 4 years and there are some problems i detected. Sometimes is released new version, which have problems and it take few days before it's fixed. Last problem i remember was fullscreen window little overlap to second monitor and it took more than week to be fixed. Sometimes I find out that youtube ads are no skipped, so blocking is working not as intended. Over time it used to be fixed, and overtime the same problem come back again. Sometimes some parts of web doesnt work correctly. I think it is happening because Vivaldi is blocking ads and some features (especially JS parts) are fake recognized as ads. But still it's best web browser for me. Only alternative i would think as replacement is Mcs Edge, because of AI features. It's also fast and good performence. But before u even configure it, by default, there are so many disctraction elements. And yea, it's developed by Microsoft, which i like, but let's not be naive.
@@truechecker680 ive been using opera gx for the past 4 years. if i start talking about all the bugs and broken updates, ive better write an entire book.
on my personal PC running Fedora Linux it's Firefox and Brave, on my windows 11 work PC it's Edge, yes MS haters it's actually pretty good now, and Firefox and Brave of course.
been using vivaldi for well over 3 years and it has been *phenominal* , especially when they added workspaces a while back, very nice, very fast (i had 178 tabs open and just then did it start slowing down heavily, nowadays 30 tabs or less and it runs like a dream) very customizable, and it just looks good. Now Arc on the other hand....it's quite the disappointment for Windows users; most -if not all the features that make it THE Arc browser are missing from Windows, development has slowed to a crawl (some are even saying they ditched it entirely) and it basically ended up being a bog-standard ,fancy chromium browser.
Top 1 for mobile is Brave because there is adblocker and ability to go on mobile youtube with adblocker without getting send to mobile application of youtube itself. Also there is ability to play content even if you have locked your phone, that is, in the background, that is, you have no restrictions on sites where you cannot do this., and widevine extension available so you might get web version of spotify to work with adblocker (but it didn't worked for me for some reason) . Top 2 is Firefox because there is extensions support included (not all of them) for example uBlock origin & Sponsorblock
Guys, if your looking for a review that focuses on features, then this video is not for you. If you care about a tier list that focuses on Privacy then this is the video for you.
If we are using an Android phone then there is no point in using a privacy focused browser. We are not going to get all that privacy. I use a Pixel phone (by google - cough cough). But I also have Vivaldi, Brave, Firefox and Edge. I go to Brave and Firefox time to time but I always go back to google chrome. It simply works and makes the UX better between my PC and Pixel phone.
I actually find Privacy focused/FoSS Apps to be better/more functional (mostly for being Ads-free) Firefox Android and Kiwi is only browser with extension, and I don't use Google service that much, I only use Drive for pirating movies, so Chrome isn't that useful for me DuckDuckGo has a cool name and "!" to search over things, VLC is as good as MX Player but without Ads and their streaming Service, LocalSend is just amazing and is better than Zapya and ShareIt, no ads, ZArchiver is just faster, Obsidian is way better than default Notes app,
Pixel phones have privacy issues cuz it's made by google. Most other android phones do not have that issue. If you care about your privacy that much you can install a custom os.
@@Boeing-747-maxIf you can, you can unlock the bootloader and install GrapheneOS. I don't cuz I'm a rooted user and like being able to run the latest android beta. Also, google has enough of my data that I don't really care all that much.
I disagree on Chrome, while it is technically "closed source" and not privacy respecting, it is not much different from the main Chromium project, which is open source and gives life to more than half of the browsers you've listed. Both Chrome and Firefox are definitely A tier browsers in that respect. They're the original open source projects. No matter how good they are, I would put Arc, Edge, and Vivaldi to F tier though, they take an open source project and doesn't give back to the community.
Well, which one is THE BEST for YOU? Let me know in the comments!👇🧡
What's the best browser for android ?
Having S23 Ultra but I really find chrome old ... if you know what I mean
I like Vivaldi, Firefox and Brave
Try mozilla or brave they both are really good
I use Zen as my main browser; haven't had any issues/crashes yet. I like your list!
Edge lack of extensions? You do realize that it CAN use extensions from the chrome extension store along with it's default store...
I think that Vivaldi presents itself as Google Chrome by default in order to blend in with the rest of the Internet and be much harder to fingerprint. That's likely why they have those unique identifiers. Could be something worse though, I don't know.
For me it's Brave as its FOSS and has great linux support and pretty good privacy. Also the shared tabs across devices is cool.
In my case, Brave works fastest especially on two of my windows 10 machines, if I compare the performance in terms of tab switching and opening speeds, smoothness, and overall stability. And security in Brave is top notch. If you are on Windows 10, I would recommend Brave over other browsers. I am not sure about WIndows 11 though.
9:19 Final list
I love you

Vivaldi definitely deserves the S tier

Yes, Edge is super fast.
ive been testing all browser for a year now and vivaldi is the best, then firefox then brave. this is a good tierlist
kinda sucks that for now the vivaldi ad blocker doesn't work on youtube but its still on of my most favorite web browsers out there lol.
been using vivaldi for well over 3 years and it has been *phenominal* , especially when they added workspaces a while back, very nice, very fast (i had 178 tabs open and just then did it start slowing down heavily, nowadays 30 tabs or less and it runs like a dream) very customizable, and it just looks good.

oh hell nawh, I use Zen and its literally something else of a experience... Zen Mods are literal blessing... Easily A tier (S for me)
absolutely
Yes, true. Zen is amazing and it's especially good for students with multitasking and pinned tabs
And some popular browsers are missing. Mostly Firefox based browser . Like Librewolf
Zen is easily S
it's full of bugs currently and is not compatible as chromium based browsers. You only like it cuz its a new toy to fiddle with.
or A at least, i really think zen is feature rich enough to deserve better
It's still in alpha, so I'd wait with that until it has the "1.0" stable release.
@@etnevel.naitzsirk It is 100% better than Edge . Even better than Firefox . It has better privacy settings and customizasions than Firefox.
Yeah, obviously. The only issue I had is download speed, but it's fine. Minor issue. Still should be s
Hey mate why not make a video on secondary browser like firefox focus, and other like it which is good in terms of privacy, minimal and quick access
Firefox focus doesn't support extensions so it's out
@Xhydria-4 well but it has soms other privacy features which others don't have
Lmao Zen in C Tier? All credibility lost.
What about Cromite...? 🤔
Make one video for mobile too. Thankyou

why did you remind about THAT 7:15
Duck Duck go for mobile, MAC brave and mac opera for OF as it dosent work on brave
Firefoz focus vs DuckDuckDuckGo browser
floorp is perfect firefox fork
"you should ditch chrome"
*proceeds to put a chromium browser in S tier"
chrome is slow
Safari on Mac, Brave on Mobile
chromium doesnt exist?
Google is the best browser ever!!!
It's not Oh-pra, it's pronounced Aw-pra.
Hey! Thanks for the pointer!
Same thing..
I haven’t tried vivaldi yet but i’ve used mozilla,brave,arc,edge,chrome,zen and outta all i’d pick mozilla and brave cus they’re the best
I love vivaldi
Would have put Opera a little higher, but I'm using Vivaldi and loving it since the new 7.0.
Opera sucks privacy-wise so there's no reason it should be higher than chrome on the list
@@lowgoingman shit take, chrome is light years behind everything else
@@bvd_vlvd wrong. Chrome is at least fast and lightweight. Can't say the same about opera. If you don't care about privacy - chrome is your choice
@@lowgoingman why would you decide what's my choice, after I already said I wouldn't use it over anything else
@@bvd_vlvd you called my take shitty. Pick a struggle brother
Vivaldi for me is a C for alright. Its too slow for me compared to Brave, which is my daily.
Guys, if your looking for a review that focuses on features, then this video is not for you. If you care about a tier list that focuses on Privacy then this is the video for you.

I don't cuz I'm a rooted user and like being able to run the latest android beta.

What about samsung browser?🤔
That was a good one :D
