So?
There is no way for the vast majority of users to read or understand the source for something like Firefox - to the point it may as well be closed source.
Agreed of course plenty of security researchers will be examining the code which they can’t with Vivaldi - but presumably if that was a security advantage Firefox would have less vulnerabilities when compared to other browsers. (Actually would be interested to see if this is the case!)
Brave. It ain’t perfect, but I actually like that it comes with Adblock, IPFS and Tor support out of the box. Gives you a fully functioning browser out of the box without having to mess with tons of plugins.
If you want something more minimalist, Librewolf might be worth a look.
Ok. Chrome sucks. Brave sucks. What’s good. Firefox?
Firefox and Mull (a Firefox fork) have your privacy in mind. They work as good as Chrome and don’t fuck you without asking.
Firefox is the least sucky.
It’s got its problem but it’s my preference
Vivaldi is a good Chrome replacement.
It’s really great! Been using it for nearly a year now and love the influx of privacy friendly features.

Hell no. I lost all respect for them when they tricked users into uploading browser screenshots into their cloud and than took forever to fix it. And that’s just one of the many many missteps they had over the last years.
PS: Depressing how many of you seem to consider such a drastic violation of privacy acceptable.
Which browser do you recommend?

A lot of people lost trust in them after they sneakily installed an extension on users’ browsers to promote Mr Robot.
